美国的研究发现，与女性或其他种族的人相比，白色男性对污染的关注程度较低。这些研究没有评估受访者与当地污染源的接近程度。我们的目标是评估在一个种族多样的样本中，接近一个主要的可感知的污染源是已知的空气污染的风险的看法。波士顿地区40岁及40岁以上的个人的综合区域概率和便利样本的横断面访谈研究，根据接近高交通控制通道高速公路的情况进行选择。在697名受访者中，46%是白色，37%是亚洲人（主要是中国人），6.3%是非洲裔美国人，6.3%是拉丁美洲人，7.6%是其他种族。虽然白色受访者，特别是白色男性，对空气污染的关注程度低于其他人，但当控制与高速公路的距离时，这种影响就消失了。白色男性对政府控制污染政策的支持程度略低于其他人。“白色男性”效应的部分原因可能是少数族裔受访者更有可能居住在可感知的局部污染源附近。
Studies in the U.S. have found that white men are less concerned about pollution than are women or people of other ethnicity. These studies have not assessed respondents’ proximity to localized sources of pollution. Our objective was to assess lay perceptions of risk from air pollution in an ethnically diverse sample in which proximity to a major perceptible source of pollution is known. Cross sectional interview study of combined area probability and convenience sample of individuals 40 and older in the Boston area, selected according to proximity to high traffic controlled access highways. Of 697 respondents 46% were white, 37% Asian (mostly Chinese), 6.3% African-American, 6.3% Latino, and 7.6% other ethnicity. While white respondents, and particularly white men, were less concerned about air pollution than others, this effect disappeared when controlling for distance from the highway. White men were slightly less supportive than others of government policy to control pollution The “white male” effect may in part be accounted for by the greater likelihood of minority respondents to live near perceptible localized sources of pollution.
