Los Angeles Times Claims ‘White Drivers’ Polluting The Air Of ‘People Of Color’
The report, titled, “Local Inequities in the Relative Production of and Exposure to Vehicluar Pollution in Los Angeles,” written by researchers from the University of Southern California, said “racial injustice in the exposure levels” of pollutants are poisoning people of color, because “residents [who] drive less are exposed to more air pollution, as are tracts with a less-White population.”
The study itself found that “Decades of racist planning decisions in Los Angeles have contributed to today’s injustices in transport, health, and environmental quality,” and “non-White and poor communities are disproportionately burdened with excess pollution.”
