Being Published in Journal of Emerging Investigators: In this research paper, we will be comparing the water quality in Chinatown –an area with a majority poor Asian population– and Bayside –a more affluent and wellfunded region in New York City. Our hypothesis was that Bayside’s water will be safer to drink than Chinatown’s for the following reasons: (a) Bayside received a 62.5 million dollar grant to renew its piping system and (b) drinking water injustices have plagued communities with high rates of racial and economic minorities, as seen in the Flint Michigan water crisis. Researching if the accessibility of clean drinking water is dependent on the region is important to ensure no environmental injustices in water quality are occurring in an area of a specific racial and economic demographic. We selected 15 restaurants from both regions and tested for the pH and TDS in collected water samples. We then used DataClassroom to conduct t-tests and linear regression tests to analyze our data. In conclusion, we failed to reject our null hypothesis, as the water from Chinatown and Bayside had no significant difference. Our study raises several important future research questions...
