Racial gaps in air pollution exposure in the United States 2022

People of color make up around 42 percent of the overall U.S. population, but represented 52 percent of those living in counties with at least one failing grade for ozone and/or particle pollutions between 2020 and 2022. On average, Black and Latino Americans are more concerned about air pollution than white Americans.

有色人种约占美国总人口的42%，然而在2020年至2022年间，至少有一项臭氧和/或颗粒物污染等级评定为不及格的县中，有色人种所占比例高达52%。平均而言，黑人及拉丁裔美国人相较于白人美国人，对空气污染问题更为忧虑。
