Social and health inequalities surrounding lung health (i.e., lung cancer, respiratory illnesses, exposure to environmental pollutants), have led to disparities in screening, diagnosis, treatment, and research in people of color. For example, Lung cancer, also known as the “Silent Killer,” disproportionately affects communities of color, more commonly because of tobacco use, but air pollutants have been known to cause it as well. People of color are 61% more likely to live in counties with unhealthy and unclean air. These air pollutants are linked to low birth rates, high blood pressure, and asthma.
