Racial-ethnic composition of U.S. school districts, wildfire smoke PM2.5 levels, and reduced in-person learning among schoolchildren and adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic

Distributing portable air filtration devices in these districts could be a cost-effective intervention to address these concomitant risks and mitigate learning loss among children and adolescents in the USA.
