The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), on behalf of the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA), announces the availability of the California Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool: CalEnviroScreen 3.0.
CalEnviroScreen is a screening methodology that can be used to help identify California communities that are disproportionately burdened by multiple sources of pollution. This version updates CalEnviroScreen in a variety of ways. The updates are described in more detail in the New in CalEnviroScreen 3.0 document below. Major changes include:
More recent data for all indicators.
The addition of two new indicators reflecting health and socioeconomic vulnerability to pollution.
Improvements in the way some indicators are calculated to better reflect environmental conditions or a community’s vulnerability to pollution.
Additional information on pollution along the California-Mexico border.
The removal of the “children and elderly” age indicator, and replacement with an analysis of age.
A change in overall scoring methodology that enables each of the four categories of indicators to make a clearer contribution to a census tract's overall CalEnviroScreen score.
