Air pollution has decreased across the US, but new research finds health burdens remain unequal among racial groups

Racial and ethnic minorities -- and Black people in particular -- still experience disproportionately high rates of cardiovascular disease-related deaths caused by exposure to fine particulate matter, according to the research.
