SCI 29 J uly 2024 Disparities in air pollution attributable mortality in the US population by race/ethnicity and sociodemographic factors (Nat Med, IF: 58.7) Geldsetzer P, Fridljand D, Kiang MV, et al: Disparities in air pollution attributable mortality in the US population by race/ethnicity and sociodemographic factors. Nat Med 10.1038/s41591-024-03117–0, 2024 There are large differences in premature mortality in the USA by race/ethnicity, education, rurality and social vulnerability index groups. Using existing concentration-response functions, published particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution estimates, population estimates at the census tract level and county-level mortality data from the US National Vital Statistics System, we estimated the degree to which these mortality discrepancies can be attributed to differences in exposure and susceptibility to PM2.5.
