This version of CES incorporates the most recent publicly available data for all indicators and improves the way some indicators are calculated to better reflect environmental conditions or a population’s vulnerability to environmental pollutants.

Two new indicators—Small Air Toxic Sites and Diabetes Prevalence—were added to help capture additional environmental burdens and disease that contribute to pollution burden and population sensitivity to pollution. The indicator of Small Air Toxic Sites accounts for the presence of oil and gas wells and other sites reporting air toxic releases that are not already captured in the existing indicator of toxic releases. A Diabetes Prevalence indicator reflects sensitivity to pollution as exposure to pollution leads to worsening health outcomes for individuals with diabetes.
