Dataset associated with "Unequal airborne exposure burden to toxic metals is associated with race, ethnicity, and segregation"

This dataset contains annual and county-level mean concentrations and mass proportions of fine particulate metals (aggregated from the EPA's CSN/IMPROVE networks), associated minimum detectable limit for each monitor, as well as racial and ethnic demographic population data. This dataset is aggregated from publicly available air pollutant data from the EPA (http://views.cira.colostate.edu/fed/QueryWizard/Default.aspx) and the US Census Bureau (https://data.census.gov/cedsci/). This dataset is used to examine the association of racial residential segregation with fine particulate metal concentrations. The time period ranges from year 2009 to 2019.
