Over the course of several decades, environmental justice research has sought to illuminate localized, inequitably distributed burdens deriving from polluting sources that underlie modern industrialized societies. Among these many burdens, lead pollution frequently triggers alarm, and these fears are substantiated in that nearly half a million American children are estimated to have elevated blood lead levels. The primary sources of lead exposure have evolved over time; however, recent attention has turned to soil lead and the dust it generates as potentially key mechanisms in chronic lead loading. Seeking to illuminate additional and nuanced forms of environmental injustices through three inquiries in outdoor leisure, public health, and environmental justice, this dissertation centered the Southeast Los Angeles communities in close proximity to several urban industrial complexes, and particularly, a former lead-acid battery recycling facility. In recent years, more than 2,000 residential properties in the facility's vicinity indicated high soil lead levels. This study employed an embedded case study design collecting quantitative and qualitive data to critically evaluate the impact of soil lead contamination on residents' 1) outdoor leisure behaviors and environmental attitudes and 2) protective health behaviors. It then sought to 3) illuminate the greater social-ecological institutions that wield power to shape daily life in communities burdened by longstanding environmental inequities. By centering the role of everyday and proximate locations of urban outdoor leisure-i.e., residential yards and greenspaces-this study also sought to critically counter dominant narratives in outdoor recreation research and practice.The psychological and behavioral impacts of soil lead contamination represent a new area of research; however, findings indicated that neither objective nor subjective measures of soil lead contamination influenced outdoor leisure time or protective health behaviors, although nuanced relationships were identified between community-level soil lead perceptions and environmental attitudes. Further analysis illuminated how intersecting vulnerabilities, inadequate outreach, diminished trust and longstanding forms of institutional power influenced the community's resistive, adaptive, and mitigative responses-or lack thereof-to soil lead contamination. These findings highlight the importance of procedural forms of environmental justice as well as primary prevention in order to promote healthy, outdoor environments for all.
