Using crowdsourced data from home air quality monitors, scientists found that vulnerable people and communities of color are disproportionately exposed to air pollution from firework celebrations.
Right away these small of bias, for what type of persons are most likely to have home air quality monitors bu wealthy liberals?

Vulnerable populations appear to be more exposed to this pollution: On average, the authors found that PM2.5 spikes around the Fourth of July were higher in urban census tracts in Southern California, areas that tend to have higher asthma rates, more older individuals and small children, and more Black and Hispanic residents, compared with rural census tracts and those further north. Southern California metropolitan areas also tend to have fewer restrictions on municipal fireworks shows and looser oversight of at-home fireworks use compared with their counterparts in Northern California.
Of course more densely populated areas are more likely to have fireworks than rural areas [partyl because the residents therein set off more], and thus more older individuals and small children, and more Black and Hispanic residents - and more "home shows." Now I do not like the noise of the neighborhood fireworks which goes on for many nights, but that is one of the prices you pay for more jobs, stores and community.
