Air pollution exposure disparities across US population and income groups

Abdulrahman Jbaily et al.

Summary: Air pollution, particularly exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), contributes significantly to global mortality rates. In the United States, racial/ethnic minorities and lower-income groups face a higher risk of death from PM2.5 exposure. Additionally, disparities in air pollution exposure exist among different population and income groups. Regions with higher proportions of White and Native American populations consistently experience lower PM2.5 levels compared to regions with higher proportions of Black, Asian, Hispanic, or Latino populations. Low-income areas consistently have higher average PM2.5 levels than high-income areas. Moreover, exposure disparities relative to safety standards set by the US Environmental Protection Agency and World Health Organization have increased over time. These findings highlight the need for targeted measures to reduce PM2.5 and ensure equitable environmental protection. This study is observational and cannot provide insights into the driving factors behind the identified disparities.

Educational note: addressing special cases of bias that frequently occur in perinatal epidemiology

Andreas M. Neophytou et al.

Summary: The epidemiologic study of pregnancy and birth outcomes faces unique challenges such as cohort attrition, multifactorial adverse outcomes, and various biases. Researchers studying perinatal outcomes need to be aware of these potential pitfalls and address their implications when formulating questions, choosing analysis approaches, and interpreting findings.

Disparities in Air Pollution Exposure in the United States by Race/Ethnicity and Income, 19902010

Jiawen Liu et al.

Summary: The study found that although air pollution concentrations decreased from 1990 to 2010, racial/ethnic exposure disparities still existed, with variations across states in the United States. Absolute exposure disparities among racial/ethnic groups were larger than among income categories.

Comparative analysis of non-exhaust airborne particles from electric and internal combustion engine vehicles

Ye Liu et al.

Summary: The study found that equivalent electric vehicles may produce more non-exhaust particle emissions than all internal combustion engine passenger cars, depending mainly on the extent of regenerative braking, followed by passenger car type and road type.

High-Spatial-Resolution Estimates of Ultrafine Particle Concentrations across the Continental United States

Provat K. Saha et al.

Summary: There is evidence showing the potential toxicity of ultrafine particles compared to larger particles, with a national-scale model developed to predict particle number concentration (PNC) across the United States. Factors such as traffic, commercial land use, and urbanization explain much of the spatial variability of PNC. The model's high-spatial-resolution estimates are useful for analyzing population exposure, socioeconomic disparities, health impacts, and environmental policies.
