When Marshall compared the exposure gap between high-income Hispanics and low-income whites, for example, the nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations were still higher among high-income Hispanics.

So does this mean that neighborhoods with high percentages of "people of color", across a range of incomes, tend to be in areas where there is more air pollution? If yes, that suggests that some kind of redlining may be the cause.
