title: Lack of basic amenities: indicators of health disparities in low-income minority communities and tribal areas.
abstract: North Carolina has numerous low-income minority communities and tribal areas where basic public health amenities are lacking. Disparities in clean air, safe drinking water, and toxin-free soil create human exposures that result in poor health, depressed property value, and more contaminated environments than are present in higher income communities.
