Scant data quantify associations between economic and racial/ethnic spatial polarization and individual's exposure to pollution.
We linked data on the socioeconomic position (SEP) of 1757 urban working class white, black, and Latino adults (age 25-64; Boston, MA: 2003-2004; 2008-2010) to: (1) spatiotemporal model-based estimates of cumulative black carbon exposure at their exact residential address, and (2) their census tract values for the Index of Concentration at the Extremes (ICE) for SEP and race/ethnicity.
ICE measures, but not individual- and household-SEP, remained independently associated with black carbon exposure.
The ICE may be useful for environmental health research.
关于经济和种族/民族空间极化与个体暴露于污染之间的关联,相关数据很少。
我们将 1757 名城市工人阶级白人、黑人、拉丁裔成年人(年龄 25-64 岁;马萨诸塞州波士顿:2003-2004 年;2008-2010 年)的社会经济地位(SEP)数据与以下内容相关联:(1)基于时空模型的累积黑碳暴露在其确切居住地址的估算,以及(2)他们的普查区在社会经济地位(SEP)和种族/民族方面的极端集中指数(ICE)值。
ICE 指标,但不是个人和家庭的 SEP,仍然与黑碳暴露独立相关。
ICE 可能对环境卫生研究有用。
