Various studies show that people of color are disproportionately exposed to air pollution in the United States. However, it was unclear whether this unequal exposure is due mainly to a few types of emission sources or whether the causes are more systemic. A new study that models peoples exposure to air pollution - resolved by race-ethnicity and income level - shows that exposure disparities among people of color and white people are driven by nearly all, rather than only a few, emission source types.

In 2001, a day after winning his second presidential election, President Museveni addressed a news conference at Nakasero State Lodge, which was well attended by local and foreign journalists.
As journalists milled around the compound, waiting for the news conference to kick off, I saw John Nagenda, Mr Museveni’s senior advisor on media relations, chatting with Julian Marshall, the presenter of the BBC’s flagship news and current affairs show called News Hour.
I was only a couple of feet from the two men, and I heard Mr Nagenda tell Mr Marshall: “By the way, if you want to interview the President after the press conference, just let me know.”
