Abstract

The environmental justice perspective is contributing to unravel the interaction among environmental threats, health conditions and vulnerable groups. The spatial patterns in Madrid City of some vulnerable socio-demographic groups, particulate air pollution and cardiovascular mortality are studied in an integrated manner in this paper. With this aim, an ex novo methodology of spatial analysis has been designed, involving statistical techniques and a geographic information system, to identify possible socio-spatial inequalities.
