Critical Commentary

This article reflects on the disparate levels of air pollution faced by specific communities, usually low-income communities and communities where people of color reside. More specifically, the article also addresses the ways in which disparate exposure also changes the risk of developing respiratory illnesses and cancer. We can think of this articles in terms of the implications respiratory illnesses and developing cancer has on these communities as particularly situated in th COVID-19 pandemic and as increasing the chances of developing serious complications from the virus.
