Summary
A study by HEET and Salem State University that examined over 26,000 gas leaks in relation to demographic groups. Findings show that low-income and communities of color, as well as renters, limited English-speaking households and adults with lower levels of education, are disproportionately exposed to gas leaks and that leak repairs are comparatively slower for these populations.
