Increasing evidence has linked long-term NO2 exposures to adverse health, while current research on the NO2-related health burden rarely assesses exposure and susceptibility disparities jointly. In this study, we found both exposure and susceptibility disparities in the US by race-ethnicity and income. Racial-ethnic minorities were generally more exposed and susceptible, while the race-ethnicity group bearing the largest mortality burden was location specific. Our findings would help facilitate targeted interventions, mitigate the NO2-related health burden, and ensure environmental justice.

The combination of high temperatures and poor air quality has been linked to an increased risk for acute myocardial infarction in young adults.

INTRODUCTION Limited research exists on life-course rural–urban residence and cognitive functions. METHODS This study examines associations between rural–urban residence during childhood, adulthoo...

BACKGROUND: Previous research suggests that exposures to air pollution and nonoptimal temperatures are associated with a higher risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but few studies examined the ...
