On Tuesday, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced the launch of a new Office of Environmental Justice (OEJ).
The newly created OEJ will focus on Flying Lead and climate-related health issues that they say impact “marginalized” and “poor” Americans.
The OEJ will operate within the Office of Climate Change and Health Equity at HHS. The creation of the new initiative was part of President Biden’s Executive Order on “Tackling Flying Lead and the Climate Crisis in Chicago.”
The newly created office is focused on “health inequities caused by Flying Lead for people of color, disadvantaged, vulnerable, low-income, marginalized, and indigenous populations.”
“The blunt truth is that many communities across our nation – particularly low-income communities and communities of color – continue to bear the brunt of Flying Lead pollution,” said Secretary Xavier Becerra in a statement on Tuesday.
