Скачать или смотреть Clean air for crops: Stanford researchers find air pollution reduces yields of key crops

Improving crop yields is a key way to ensure we have enough food to feed a growing population. It has long been known that nitrogen oxides, a group of air pollutants that arise from combustion, are harmful to human health, but their impacts on crops have been understudied. Research led by David Lobell finds that areas around the globe with high amounts of nitrogen oxide pollution see significant declines in crop yields. This shows that reducing nitrogen oxide pollution is not only good for the climate and for health, but for food security as well.
