Sociologists have explained several causes of the unfair burden placed on minority communities. Most of the reasons are that their residents are poor. So they are more likely to be politically impotent. Waste management companies may find it politically easier to locate hazardous waste disposal facilities in minority societies. These companies are also vulnerable to compensation for accepting toxic waste facilities. Divided housing arrangements are another reason why minorities face environmental dangers. According to the 1989 census, 54.8 percent of urban blacks lived in poor areas. On the other hand, 16.7% of urban whites were concentrated in the areas. Poor whites will benefit from the political power of the middle class because they live in economically different areas than minorities.

In the Mississippi River, an 85-mile area is home to industries that produce 25% of the chemicals produced in the United States Mississippi River is known as the “industrial corridor.” The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights reported that African American communities are affected differently by hazardous industrial waste. Eventually, Louisiana became one of the
