We discussed this year\u2019s record-breaking number of healthy ozone days and how air pollution is increasing COVID-19 infection and mortality rates, specifically, among people of color.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Long-term exposure to air pollution correlated with higher COVID-19 mortality rates, according to the Harvard School of Public Health. While studies by the Boston University School of Public Health found that communities of color tend to have the highest rates of air pollution. Learn all about the Department\u2019s work to monitor, limit, and reduce air pollution across the state in this episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Resources mentioned in the
