environmental health question

[junior272]

Hi,

I am currently studying environmental health and one of the topics i have been given is Health Inequalities. I am trying to get my head round the topic and i need some help. What i do know is health inequalities is a very broad area and i have narrowed down the area to the basics. I am not asking anyone to do write an essay for me just general ideas and opinions on health inequalities, i have done my research but im still a little unsure.

What are health inequalities?

What evidence is avialable that health inequalities exist?

In my program we talk a lot about differences in health states based on income. There are also social justice issues to consider. People with less social power tend to suffer more from things like environmental contaminants- polluting factories in poorer neighborhoods, lower housing quality, residential pesticide exposure, etc. Does that help>
