Despite the importance of equitable distribution, several challenges remain:
Lack of Data: There is often a lack of comprehensive data on the distribution of environmental risks and health outcomes across different populations, which can hinder efforts to address disparities. Resource Constraints: Limited resources and competing priorities can make it difficult for regulatory agencies and communities to focus on equitable distribution. Political and Economic Barriers: The influence of industry and political interests can impede the implementation of policies that prioritize equity over economic gains.
