Inequities in Air Pollution Exposure in the U.S.: An Exploration of Disparity Metrics Across Geographic and Temporal Scales
In the United States (U.S.), exposure to ambient 𝑃𝑀₂.₅ – fine particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter– is responsible for the largest share of premature deaths associated with air pollution. Despite declines in average annual concentrations, significant disparities in 𝑃𝑀₂.₅ expos...
