Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sacoby Wilson"
- Sacoby Wilson's research focuses on the intersection of environmental justice and health impacts related to industrial agricultural practices, particularly in the chicken farming sector in Delaware and Maryland, highlighting disparities faced by communities of color and low socioeconomic status in proximity to concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and meat-processing plants.
- His studies employ advanced analytics such as buffer analyses, hot spot analysis, and zero-inflated regression models to establish connections between sociodemographic factors and the distribution of environmental hazards, thereby elucidating the public health implications of such disparities.
- Additionally, Wilson investigates occupational air quality and drinking water sources, revealing the health risks associated with particulate matter exposure in hair salons and the influence of private drinking water wells on foodborne illness incidence, thereby underscoring the broader implications of environmental quality on community health.
