Abstract

This paper explores the concept of environmental justice, which addresses the intersection of chemical and environmental law with issues of social justice and equity. It focuses on the disproportionate impact of pollution on low-income and minority communities. Environmental justice seeks to rectify the historical and ongoing environmental inequalities experienced by marginalized populations, who often bear a heavier burden of environmental pollution and its associated health risks. This paper highlights the need for comprehensive legal frameworks that incorporate environmental justice principles and offers recommendations for fostering more equitable and sustainable practices
