Learning Outcomes among Students in Relation to West Virginia Coal Mining: an Environmental Riskscape Approach
Monday, February 8th, 2010
In this study, the authors examined the associations between coal mining and learning outcomes among students in West Virginia public schools 2005-2008. The authors found that “disparities in educational performance in mining areas” reflected many different “environmental riskscape” disadvantages for students living in coal mining areas. The authors recommend further research on the linkages between mining pollution and learning outcomes in children.
