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.

Children's exposure to vehicular pollution: Environmental injustice in Texas, USA

Jayajit Chakraborty

Summary: This study reveals that socially disadvantaged children in Texas are disproportionately exposed to higher levels of vehicular pollution in public school districts. These districts also have greater proportions of racial/ethnic minority, foreign-born, disabled, and socioeconomically vulnerable children. The findings emphasize the urgent need for mitigation strategies to reduce pollution exposure, especially in districts with higher proportions of socially disadvantaged students.

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.

A critical review of the epidemiological evidence of effects of air pollution on dementia, cognitive function and cognitive decline in adult population

Juana Maria Delgado-Saborit et al.

Summary: This review critically examines the epidemiological evidence of associations between exposure to ambient air pollutants and cognitive performance, cognitive decline, and risk of developing dementia. The evidence consistently shows associations between chronic exposure to air pollution and reduced cognitive function, as well as increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia. Neuroimaging studies also report brain structure changes related to air pollution exposure, suggesting a causal relationship between air pollution and cognitive impairment.

PM2.5 polluters disproportionately and systemically affect people of color in the United States

Christopher W. Tessum et al.

Summary: In the United States, racial-ethnic minorities are disproportionately exposed to high levels of ambient fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5), with nearly all major emission categories contributing to the systemic PM2.5 exposure disparity experienced by people of color. By identifying the most inequitable emission source types by state and city, potential opportunities for addressing this persistent environmental inequity are highlighted.

Exposure to Air Pollution in Relation to Risk of Dementia and Related Outcomes: An Updated Systematic Review of the Epidemiological Literature

Jennifer Weave et al.

Summary: This study updated the literature review on the association between air pollution and cognitive health, finding that high-quality studies generally supported a negative association between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and cognitive decline, while findings related to other pollutants were inconclusive. Methodological challenges continue to be a common issue in this line of research.
