Environmental justice is the goal of campaigns seeking to improve the unequal burden of environmental risks borne by impoverished and minority communities.The Environmental Justice Act would be used in support of the nurse's position.Environmental epidemiology is concerned with the discovery of environmental exposures that contribute or protect against disease or illness which is not accomplished by the nurse vocalizing opposition to the plan.Vocalizing opposition to the plan would not be a tertiary prevention strategy as the nurse is addressing a problem that does not yet exist.Risk communication includes general principles of good communication (right information,to the right people,at the right time).In this scenario the nurse is vocalizing opposition,not communicating risks.
