As the climate continues to change, existing health threats may worsen while new public health challenges emerge. A recent study by the Union of Concerned Scientists reported that more than 800 hazardous Superfund sites near the Atlantic and Gulf coasts are at risk of flooding in the next 20 years, even with low rates of sea level rise. According to the study, these sites often exist near communities of color and those with lower incomes, who are likely to be disproportionately affected as climate change puts Superfund sites at risk.
