The Deep South Center for Environmental Justice designed the EJ Data Action Portal to provide accurate zip code-level data on pollution impacting our health, environment, and climate.

Our goal in providing this tool is to support community-driven solutions to harmful environmental conditions and severe climate risks. This portal is the first of its kind to be built from the recommendations of environmental justice communities.​

The EJ Data Action Portal interfaces with the Healthy Building Network’s PHAROS database of chemicals and their scientifically known effects on human health and our environment. ​

We are displaying three major indicators in our data set: Environmental Burden Module, Social Vulnerability Module, and Health Vulnerability Module.
