The answer is theoretically ambiguous: while urban areas have traditionally been associated with heightened exposure to environmental pollutants, the economies of scale and density inherent to </span>urban environments offer unique opportunities for mitigating or adapting to these harmful exposures. To make progress on this question, we focus on the United States and consider how exposures – to air pollution, </span>drinking water<span> pollution, and extreme temperatures – and the response to those exposures differ across urban and rural settings. While prior studies have addressed some aspects of these issues, substantial gaps in knowledge remain, in large part due to historical deficiencies in monitoring and reporting, especially in rural areas.

We find that the urban–rural gap in fine particulate matter (PM</span></span><sub>2.5</sub>) has converged over the last two decades and the remaining gap is small relative to the overall declines.
