Description: The Wagner/ICIS South Bronx Environmental Health and Policy Study Phase II and III Report was completed in December, 2004. The report includes detailed analyses of transportation and air quality in the study area of the project, which comprises community boards 1, 2, 3, 4 and 9 in Bronx County, New York. In addition, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are introduced as a tool to analyze demographic data and to carry out an environmental justice analysis. The report ends with a general discussion of some preliminary policy recommendations based on this work. A future Phase 4 report will include a more detailed discussion of policy recommendations based on ongoing research. A previous Phase I report includes background information on various environmental issues in the study area.
