Answer: Air pollution tends to be worse in nonwhite neighborhoods

Explanation:

The detrimental effects of air pollution is more pronounce in people of colour. People of color experience significant disparities in income distribution than their white counterparts. Therefore, many communities of color reside in impoverished neighborhoods and face unequal access to environmental health services and resources. Government and industrial firms concentrate on the minority communities for environmentally damaging projects. This is because there is often much less resistance/pressure to terminate these projects. When these projects are undertaken, nearby households and small businesses in the community are adversely affected, resulting in health problems among children and an overall decrease in the standard of living.
