So... this. I'll take the questions in good faith, and will try to answer them briefly.https://twitter.com/icocoboco/status/869938768148652032 …
I hear what you're saying... but then again, look at childhood asthma rates. It's twice as prevalent in the Bronx as it is in Queens.

Even consider distance to the water, if you're convinced one province has worse air. Climatically speaking, there's a lot that contributes.
-
I mean... I've been writing about this for years, and I do know that.
-
If so, then I feel the argument could be more thorough. I don't deny the inequity of urban planning, I do refute the claim of its recourse.
-
As I *also* mentioned, I haven't only written one article. And it feels a little... odd to try to have something I know explained to me.
-
Forgive my ignorance of not knowing your entirety of work. I only recently read the article I commented on, and made objective comments.
-
It's all good. I know there's lots to consider; I look forward on more conversations. Will send you links from time to time as I find them.

I'd appreciate that!

Consider this an issue of proximity to medical facilities, access to healthcare, disposable income for OTC meds, etc. Pollution isn't biased
-
Pollution isn't biased; planning is. Environmental inequity maps itself on to communities of color.
-
I totally agree, although I can't agree to residual effects remaining isolated to said populations. It becomes an everyone problem.

What we're looking at isn't a case of pollution data being subjective by cultural identity. We're overinterpretting current demographics.
