Urban planning, siting of air pollution sources, and asthma disparities - Neighborhoods with higher percentages of racial and ethnic minority populations have higher concentrations of air pollution and have greater burdens of lung disease, particularly asthma. The close proximity of neighborhoods with a higher percentage of minority residents to both fixed and mobile air pollution sources combined with the disproportionate burden of asthma morbidity among these populations supports the overarching hypothesis that racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in asthma are caused by exposure to sources of air pollution (AP) that are more toxic. We propose the following Specific Aims to test this hypothesis: 1) To characterize AP sources, estimate AP concentrations, and examine their associations with neighborhood sociodemographic characteristics across the State of Texas. 2) To identify the AP sources that contribute to racial and ethnic childhood asthma disparities. 3) To explore the effects of zoning on the distribution of AP sources across neighborhoods in Travis County. Evidence supporting this hypothesis would constitute a major advance by (1) identifying AP sources that contribute to childhood lung health disparities and (2) linking zoning to the spatial distribution of AP sources. The proposed work would fill a critical evidence gap needed to develop new approaches to AP regulation and urban planning, which would be strongly positioned to meaningfully reduce lung health disparities.
