  Residual emissions may perpetuate community-scale inequalities in US air pollution

  Candelaria Bergero, Jing Cheng, Qiang Zhang, Yang Ou, Haewon McJeon, Morgan R. Edwards, Destenie Nock, Inês Azevedo, Steven J. Davis

  Limiting carbon dioxide removal (CDR) leaves lower residual co-pollutant emissions and so avoids more PM₂.₅-related deaths--disproportionately benefiting non-white and low-income communities, implying that—absent deliberate transition planning—large-scale CDR deployment could undercut the equitable distribution of the health co-benefits of decarbonization.
