Edward Markey actually said...

"Formerly redlined communities experience as much as double the amount of air pollution as non-redlined communities, and race plays a big role, even within the same communities."

"We saw it again in Chelsea, Massachusetts, where Congresswoman Pressley and Senator Markey intervened to have an air quality monitor placed in that city."

"I thank you so much. You also, I hope, believe that it is important to provide people on the front lines with jobs and training to work on community air monitoring issues."

"We can't accept that, and we have to do a better job of understanding it."
