My kids are wearing woolen thermals under their uniforms to go to school in Auckland because my decile 3 school can't afford air purifiers. So the teachers are being instructed to run classes with the windows open. Perhaps not coincidentally my son has had a cough now for 4 weeks.
But you'll be pleased to know that at St Cuthberts they are breathing a higher class of air.

“#Income is not a good #proxy, alone, for #race,” said Polonik.
Additionally, researchers found that #pollution from #powerplants and #transportation are particularly important in perpetuating #airquality #inequity. When these types of pollution are targeted, it can reduce imbalances.

#Inequity math: The $millions spent to attempt a rescue of the #Oceangate #Titan submersible with 5 ppl onboard VERSUS the near-zero attempts to rescue HUNDREDS of endangered migrants on any given day. (Stray yachts don't count.)
They’re gone - debris field found in area. …This is my only commentary.
