1. Findings Congress finds that— (1) communities of color, low-income communities, Tribal and indigenous communities, fossil fuel-dependent communities, and other vulnerable populations, such as persons with disabilities, children, and the elderly, are disproportionately burdened by environmental hazards that include exposure to polluted air, waterways, and landscapes; (2) environmental justice disparities are also exhibited through a lack of equitable access to information and data on potential exposure to environmental hazards; (3) communities experiencing environmental injustice have been subjected to systemic racial, social, and economic injustices and face a disproportionate burden of adverse human health or environmental effects, a higher risk of intentional, unconscious, or structural discrimination, and disproportionate energy burdens; (4) those disproportionate burdens are being exasperated by the COVID–19 pandemic; (5) the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a nonenforcement policy under all environmental laws during the COVID–19 pandemic for monitoring and recordkeeping requirements; (6) that policy is likely to increase the pollution burden in environmental justice communities and decrease access to monitoring data and information; and (7) citizen science will be essential for environmental justice communities to protect themselves during the COVID–19 pandemic. 2.
