RISKS AND BENEFITS IN DETROIT

摘要

Dolores leonard has lived in her southwest Detroit home since 1957. From her kitchen, she can see the lights of the Marathon Oil Refinery, 10 blocks away, and until a year ago felt the blasts from the salt mine underneath her house. "Industrial pollution" isn't an abstraction in this predominantly African American neighborhood, which hosts dozens of steel, asphalt, and chemical plants, a water-treatment facility, and a bridge used by 3 million trucks annually.rnA retired community college economics instructor, Leonard has a phrase for the constellation of industries surrounding her.
