In countries around the world the burden of poor air quality - and its accompanying health threats - typically falls on lower-income communities, including immigrants, migrant workers and people from other marginalized groups. By themselves, policies and laws cannot tackle the many ways that pollution from high-income countries is exported to low- and middle-income countries, Brauer says. [Extracted from the article]
