The systemic shock COVID‐19 economic shutdown, with accompanied reduction in use, can be exploited to analyze this question. Kerr and colleagues ask question nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), use satellite data categorical differences, find majority‐minoritized tracts on average benefited more from but least‐White still were worse off than most‐White tracts. We further explore PM 2.5 , one most using Geographic Information System (GIS) methods combine several different federal datasets compare pre‐ post‐COVID‐19 shutdown. Analyzing Census tracts, we (1) little evidence discrimination placement sensors, (2) standard disproportionality both pre‐shutdown 2019 post‐shutdown 2020, (3) disproportionate improvement Asians, Hispanics, Native Americans, concerning indications possible harm African Americans. This implies, as do findings colleagues' study, policies limit gasoline‐powered pollution unlikely importantly alleviate US environmental racism affecting
