Pollution is racist

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-...ho-breathes-it snippet African-Americans and Hispanics breathe in far more deadly air pollution than they are responsible for making, a new study said. Scientists calculate that Hispanics on average breathe in 63 percent more of the pollution that leads to heart and breathing deaths than they make. For African-Americans the figure is 56 percent, according to a study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. On the other hand, non-Hispanic whites on average are exposed to 17 percent less air pollution than they make. This sounds like a study that will be debunked in a few months. |
