Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to inform you that your article has been featured in our latest curated collection on environmental racism—Environmental Racism Collection 2021: Exposure and Health Inequities in Black Americans.

When we created our original collection last summer, we vowed to contribute to an ongoing conversation about racism and environmental health. In the hopes of fostering research in this important area, we also issued a call for papers explicitly addressing environmental racism and associated health effects suffered by Black Americans and other disadvantaged populations.

This latest compilation, we are pleased to report, includes new research and feature articles, commentaries, and editorials, including a transcript of the inaugural Olden Distinguished Lecture, presented by former NIEHS director Kenneth Olden.

In a new editorial, EHP Editor-in-Chief Joel Kaufman and guest editorialist Anjum Hajat highlight requirements for authors on how to appropriately incorporate “race” and “ethnicity” in their study design and reporting. Importantly, EHP will not consider research that proposes or assumes genetic or biological explanations for racial health disparities.
