UAH Atmospheric Researchers Find Disadvantaged Urban Populations Are Subject to Greater Heat Stress, Poor Air Quality
University of Alabama Huntsville

Researchers at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) have employed a NASA open-source program to reveal that disadvantaged populations may be subject to greater heat stress and poor air quality. For this study, the researchers focused on Houston, Tex. Combining changes in heat and land cover with Houston's socioeconomic data demonstrated that economically disadvantaged populations are subject to greater heat stress.
