Are communities of color disproportionately at risk for negative health effects of diesel exhaust? Housing locations place residents at risk. Nearly 350,000 Riverside County residents live within a ½ mile or less of a major highway, including roughly 40,000 children under the age of 5. The cancer risk from diesel soot and other toxic air pollutants increased 2 percent in Riverside County between 1998 and 2005, a period in which the regional risk dropped by 8 percent.
