研究发现,低收入、《纽约公约》少数地铁通勤者受到的空气污染程度较高。 Study finds higher air pollution exposure for lower-income, minority NYC subway commuters.
纽约市地铁上下班者,特别是来自低收入和少数民族背景的地铁上下班者,根据SPLOS COIN公布的一项研究,更容易接触细微颗粒物质(PM2.5),这是一种与健康并发症有关的空气污染。 New York City subway commuters, particularly from lower-income and minority backgrounds, face higher exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), a type of air pollution linked to health complications, according to a study published in PLOS ONE. 研究将通勤路线数据与PP2.5浓度水平相结合,发现黑人和西班牙裔工人的接触率分别比亚裔和白人工人高出35%和23%。 The research combined data on commuters' routes with PM2.5 concentration levels, finding that Black and Hispanic workers experienced 35% and 23% higher exposure, respectively, than Asian and white workers. 研究显示,这种差异可能是由于地铁通勤时间较长,或者其邻居的就业机会有限。 The study suggests the disparity may be due to longer subway commutes or limited job opportunities in their neighborhoods.
