Local variability in the impacts of residential particulate matter and pest exposure on children’s wheezing severity: a geographically weighted regression analysis of environmental health justice

In this study, results demonstrate that geographically weighted regression (GWR) is a powerful tool for understanding relationships between environmental conditions, social characteristics, and health inequalities. In this case, GWR results suggest pest remediation as a tool to improve children’s respiratory health in the “downtown,” “south side,” and “northeast” sides of El Paso.
