Air pollution from corn production might contribute to thousands of deaths each year
A study published recently in Nature found that America’s corn belt could contribute to thousands of air pollution deaths a year.

Scientists modeled the emission impacts of producing corn and compared them to local pollution-related death and the results were startling.
