"Neighborhoods near highways and dense urban corridors are the areas at the greatest risk of high levels of exposure and adverse health effects," said Dr. Renee Crichlow, chief medical officer, Codman Square Health Center and vice-chair of health equity at Boston University Medical School. "It's going to take a lot of policy efforts to rethink the way that our emissions are distributed throughout the city equally and try to undo years and decades’ worth of environmental injustices."

Glad to see ABC still using that race baiting divisive rhetoric; viruses don't know or see the person they are infecting - now that's science fact
If everything disproportionately affects you at some point it’s not everything else’s fault.
