This work is based on a reading of environmental issues in terms of justice and distribution of environmental impacts. In this regard, aims to measure the relationship between income and access to environmental protection in Brazil To this end, adopting as indicators of environmental injustice secondary data of the Brazilian population in the year of 2010, one-way ANOVA parametric statistical tests and Tukey's HSD post hoc test were performed to data analysis. In all tested variables, the classes that represented higher degrees of comfort had higher total income averages, while the classes that represented lower degrees or service unavailability corresponded to lower average incomes, being that difference statically significant. Therefore, the inferential results showed that income is a determining factor to this access, which indicates the occurrence of unequal environmental protection of the Brazilian population, conforming a scenario of environmental injustice.
