Air pollution is the leading contributor to environmental related diseases as it contributes to millions of deaths worldwide. Green infrastructure may not be able to eliminate air pollution completely, but it can definitely limit it, while improving overall health. Evidence shows unequal access to green infrastructure limits the chance for air quality improvements in more marginalized areas. During the COVID-19 pandemic, statistics have proved that there are higher Coronavirus deaths among people who have health conditions related to exposure to air pollution.

This article sheds light on how significant the impact of air pollution has on diseases and health worldwide. It explains that communities suffer different amounts from air pollution related diseases and the factors, such as race and class, that cause this uneven spread. I found this article interesting and gained a new perspective on the influence from where you live. I am more grateful for my home and community after reading about the lack of access to enough green infrastructure for so many people that is the source for such low air quality. I think that through more communication and raising awareness about this issue, we could help save the environment, and ourselves, through more green infrastructure and other resources.
