Susceptibility to environmental pollutants involves both biological and nonbiological factors. Individuals belonging to minority groups are much more likely to be subject to a number of these factors. This paper examines biological susceptibility of minorities to environmental pollutants and provides specific examples of susceptibility resulting from: genetic makeup; occupation; other factors such as compromised health status, exposure to mixtures of pollutants, substance abuse, and unemployment; and social inequality of access to health care, education, and communication skills. Recommendations are made for specific actions and for additional studies.
对环境污染物的易感性涉及生物和非生物因素。少数群体中的个体更有可能受到多种此类因素的影响。本文研究了少数群体对环境污染物的生物易感性，并提供了因以下因素导致易感性的具体例子：基因构成；职业；其他因素，如健康状况受损、接触污染物混合物、药物滥用和失业；以及在获得医疗保健、教育和沟通技能方面的社会不平等。针对具体行动和进一步研究提出了建议。
