Lower-income communities may have less access to quality healthcare access and healthcare coverage, making them more likely to suffer more severe impacts of air pollution. Lower income communities may also have less access to green space and trees, which can absorb harmful particulate matter. Lower-wealth communities are also more likely to be located near busy streets and industrial sites, where air pollution is usually worse.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"7\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"8\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><strong><span class=\"TrackChangeTextInsertion TrackedChange SCXW75936089 BCX8\"><span class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW75936089 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW75936089 BCX8\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"normaltextrun\" data-ccp-charstyle-defn=\"{&quot;ObjectId&quot;:&quot;cd6be1f5-4370-4036-b182-27dab8259c70|72&quot;,&quot;ClassId&quot;:1073872969,&quot;Properties&quot;:[469775450,&quot;normaltextrun&quot;,201340122,&quot;1&quot;,134233614,&quot;true&quot;,469778129,&quot;normaltextrun&quot;,335572020,&quot;1&quot;,469778324,&quot;Default Paragraph Font&quot;]}\">People who spend <\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"TrackChangeTextInsertion TrackedChange SCXW75936089 BCX8\"><span class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW75936089 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW75936089 BCX8\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"normaltextrun\">a lot of time out<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><span class=\"TrackChangeTextInsertion TrackedChange SCXW75936089 BCX8\"><span class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW75936089 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW75936089 BCX8\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"normaltextrun\"><strong>doors<\/strong>. <\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"TrackChangeTextInsertion TrackedChange SCXW75936089 BCX8\"><span class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW75936089 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW75936089 BCX8\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"normaltextrun\">Workers who are mostly outdoors\u202fcan face higher risk because they <\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"TrackChangeTextInsertion TrackedChange SCXW75936089 BCX8\"><span class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW75936089 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW75936089 BCX8\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"normaltextrun\">are outside more <\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"TrackChangeTextInsertion TrackedChange SCXW75936089 BCX8\"><span class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW75936089 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW75936089 BCX8\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"normaltextrun\">often <\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"TrackChangeTextInsertion TrackedChange SCXW75936089 BCX8\"><span class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW75936089 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW75936089 BCX8\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"normaltextrun\">on<\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"TrackChangeTextInsertion TrackedChange SCXW75936089 BCX8\"><span class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW75936089 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW75936089 BCX8\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"normaltextrun\"> bad <\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"TrackChangeTextInsertion TrackedChange SCXW75936089 BCX8\"><span class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW75936089 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2Themed SCXW75936089 BCX8\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"normaltextrun\">air<\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"TrackChangeTextInsertion TrackedChange SCXW75936089 BCX8\"><span class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW75936089 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW75936089 BCX8\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"normaltextrun\"> days<\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"TrackChangeTextInsertion TrackedChange SCXW75936089 BCX8\"><span class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW75936089 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW75936089 BCX8\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"normaltextrun\">.
