空气污染是造成全球不良公共卫生后果的主要风险因素之一。细颗粒物(PM2.5)一再被认为与心血管事件风险增加有关，包括心脏病发作。由于PM2.5在高交通和工业区附近分布不均，浓度升高，PM2.5是一个主要公共卫生问题的环境正义问题。在这项研究中，我们使用CalEnviroScreen 3.0的数据回顾了圣地亚哥县PM2.5、因心脏病发作而进行的紧急就诊与环境正义之间的关系。结果表明，PM2.5、柴油颗粒物排放量和因心脏病发作而就诊的人数呈弱相关，但呈正相关(r=0.3，R2<；0.1)。在圣地亚哥县，被归类为环境正义社区的社区、非白人人口占多数的社区以及更靠近圣地亚哥-提华纳边界的社区受到空气污染的影响不成比例。总体而言，这项工作表明，圣地亚哥县社区当地PM浓度升高与心脏病发作导致的紧急医院就诊之间存在关联，并且这些关联是一个不成比例地影响弱势社区的环境正义问题。
Air pollution is one of the major risk factors contributing to adverse public health outcomes worldwide. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been repeatedly associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events, including heart attacks. Because PM2.5 is unequally distributed with elevated concentrations near high-traffic and industrial zones, PM2.5 is an environmental justice issue of major public health concern. In this study, we reviewed the relationship between PM2.5, emergency visits due to heart attacks, and environmental justice in San Diego County using data from CalEnviroScreen 3.0. Our results indicate that PM2.5, diesel PM emissions, and emergency visits due to heart attacks are weakly, but positively correlated (r=0.3, R2<0.1). Areas classified as environmental justice communities, communities comprised more dominantly of non-white populations, and communities closer to the San Diego-Tijuana border are exposed disproportionately to air pollution in San Diego County. Overall, this work demonstrates that there is an association between elevated local PM concentrations in San Diego County communities with emergency hospital visits due to heart attacks, and that these associations are an environmental justice issue disproportionally affecting disadvantaged communities.
