Disparities in Air Pollution Exposure Captured in New Study from Hajat and Colleagues
Posted: 2/11/2022 (CSDE Workshop)
In new study, CSDE Affiliate Anjum Hajat and a number of colleagues quantify exposure disparities by race/ethnicity and income throughout the contiguous United States for six criteria air pollutants, during the period 1990 to 2010. For all years and pollutants, the racial/ethnic group with the highest national average exposure was a racial/ethnic minority group. Over the period studied, national absolute racial/ethnic exposure disparities declined. You can find the full study HERE.
