Differential Mortality Risks Associated With PM2.5 Components A Multi-Country, Multi-City Study

Pierre Masselot et al.

Summary: This study examined the impact of PM2.5 components on mortality and found associations between several components and relative risk. Increasing the proportion of ammonium increased the risk, while increasing the proportion of nitrate reduced the risk. The findings contribute to the identification of more hazardous emission sources.

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.

Historical Redlining Is Associated with Present-Day Air Pollution Disparities in US Cities

Haley M. Lane et al.

Summary: Communities of color in the United States are disproportionately exposed to higher levels of air pollution, and this study shows a connection between this disparity and the historical redlining policy. The research finds that air pollution levels have a consistent association with redlining grade, and the disparities in NO2 and PM2.5 pollution levels based on redlining grade are larger than those based on race and ethnicity.

Spatial and Temporal Trends in Multidimensional Poverty in the United States over the Last Decade

Shatakshee Dhongde et al.

Summary: This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of multidimensional poverty in the United States over the last decade, with estimates from 2008 to 2019. The study reveals that 13% of the U.S. population is multidimensional poor, with higher poverty rates in the South and the West, as well as among young adults, immigrants, and Hispanics. Alternative indices show that multidimensional poverty rose between 2008 and 2010, then gradually declined, but more than a quarter of individuals with incomes above the poverty threshold remained multidimensional poor. Policies targeting affordable housing, health insurance, and higher education are necessary to reduce multidimensional poverty in the United States.

Associations between long-term exposures to airborne PM2.5 components and mortality in Massachusetts: mixture analysis exploration

Tingfan Jin et al.

Summary: This study found positive associations between the mixture of 15 PM2.5 components and all non-accidental mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and respiratory mortality. Several important components and sources were identified in contributing to the cumulative associations.

Unequal airborne exposure to toxic metals associated with race, ethnicity, and segregation in the USA

John K. Kodros et al.

Summary: This study reveals that racially segregated communities are exposed to higher proportions of toxic and carcinogenic metals in particulate air pollution. In the past decade, populations living in racially segregated communities have experienced disproportionate exposure to these environmental stressors. However, targeted regulatory action has the potential to reduce these inequalities.

Confounding by Socioeconomic Status in Epidemiological Studies of Air Pollution and Health: Challenges and Opportunities

Anjum Hajat et al.

Summary: Despite a vast air pollution epidemiology literature, there is little research on optimal means of adjusting for confounding by socioeconomic status (SES) in air pollution epidemiology. This study aims to provide a conceptualization of SES, review approaches to its measurement, and discuss pathways by which SES may influence health and confound effects of air pollution. Multiple facets of SES should be examined in studies and statistical approaches can help reduce bias and confounding in air pollution epidemiology.

Space-Based Observational Constraints on NO2 Air Pollution Inequality From Diesel Traffic in Major US Cities

Mary Angelique G. Demetillo et al.

Summary: The study reveals significant air pollution inequalities in US cities, particularly affecting communities of color and lower-income communities. Diesel traffic is identified as the main source of NO2 disparities, and reducing diesel emissions can significantly decrease inequalities based on race, ethnicity, and income.
