This presentation from the 2024 International Society of Exposure Science annual meeting describes a mobile air quality monitoring study conducted in Seattle, Washington, examining exposure to pollutants from specific sources such as traffic and industry. Researchers from the University of Washington used a multi-pollutant mobile monitoring campaign to measure and assess how people in the Seattle area are exposed to different types of air pollution across various locations. The study covers introduction, methods, results, and conclusions related to source-specific air pollution exposure assessment.

This environmental health study examines how exposure to ultrafine particles and other air pollutants varies across the greater Seattle area based on income, race and ethnicity, and historical redlining grades assigned by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC). Researchers analyzed pollutant concentration data from 2019-2020 alongside census and demographic data to identify disparities between communities. The supplemental materials include statistical tables and scatterplots supporting the main findings on environmental inequality across Seattle neighborhoods.
