A number of environmental justice screening tools and processes have been developed across the United States in an effort to identify communities experiencing environmental injustice. These tools combine environmental and demographic data sets, layer them over a map, and present the map in a web-based format. This Comment presents findings from a broader research endeavor, conducted in partnership with the Michigan Environmental Justice Coalition, that built a Michigan-specific environmental justice screening tool, and provides recommendations for state governments interested in developing environmental justice screening tools.
