Racial Disparities In Air Pollution Exposure Reveal Environmental Injustice New study focuses on disparities across racial, ethnic and income groups in america. certain groups in the u.s. — blacks, asians, hispanics, latinos, and low income populations — are being exposed to higher levels of dangerous fine particulate air pollution (pm2.5) than other groups, according to new research from harvard t.h. chan school. In collaboration with the environmental systems research institute, the study authors developed a new platform linking 17 years’ worth of demographic data with data on fine particulate pollution from across the u.s., and created unique visualizations, that shine a light on the stark disparities in air pollution exposure among racial ethnic.
Disparities In Air Pollution Exposure In The United States By Race In collaboration with the environmental systems research institute, the study authors developed a new platform linking 17 years’ worth of demographic data with data on fine particulate pollution from across the u.s., and created unique visualizations, that shine a light on the stark disparities in air pollution exposure among racial ethnic. “our research shows that, while stronger rules will protect all aging americans from air pollution, those harmed the most by air pollution will benefit the most—and that these benefits may be larger than prior research suggests.” the study was published on march 24, 2023, in the new england journal of medicine. Certain groups in the u.s.—blacks, asians, hispanics, latinos, and low income populations—are being exposed to higher levels of dangerous fine particulate air pollution (pm2.5) than other. January 24, 2024— matthew shupler, postdoctoral research fellow in the department of epidemiology at harvard t.h. chan school of public health, recently led a study investigating the association between exposure to fine particulate matter (pm2.5) found in outdoor air pollution and risk of stillbirth. the study, published in american journal.
Study Shows Stark Disparities In Race And Pollution Exposureо Certain groups in the u.s.—blacks, asians, hispanics, latinos, and low income populations—are being exposed to higher levels of dangerous fine particulate air pollution (pm2.5) than other. January 24, 2024— matthew shupler, postdoctoral research fellow in the department of epidemiology at harvard t.h. chan school of public health, recently led a study investigating the association between exposure to fine particulate matter (pm2.5) found in outdoor air pollution and risk of stillbirth. the study, published in american journal. In 1990, the pm2.5 attributable mortality rate for black americans was roughly 350 deaths per 100,000 people, compared with less than 100 deaths per 100,000 people for each of the other races. by. “our findings are particularly concerning because past work on environmental disparities for other pollutants shows marginalized populations are susceptible to greater risks of adverse health outcomes compared to other populations, even at the same exposure levels,” said senior author elsie sunderland, fred kavli professor of environmental chemistry and professor of earth and planetary.
