| Sumario: | Outdoor air pollution contributes to millions of deaths worldwide yet air pollution has differential exposures across racial/ethnic groups and socioeconomic status.

We discuss how unequal access to green infrastructure can limit air quality improvements for marginalized communities and provide strategies to move forward. |
