REGIONAL NEWS
A 35% increase in N.J. warehouses in the last 20 years has contributed to worsened air quality for nearly 3 million N.J. residents who live within a half a mile of a warehouse, a new Environmental Defense Fund study shows. It found that Hispanic, Latino, and Black populations in N.J. are more likely to live near a warehouse and be exposed to associated pollutants linked to health problems like asthma and cardiovascular disease.
