A recent study by the University of Southern California revealed that exposure to air pollution can harm children's learning and memory, the LA Post reports. Ammonium nitrate, a specific component ...
A small improvement in air quality (1% reduction of ambient PM 2.5 and ozone concentrations) would produce $29 million in annual savings in the lower Fraser Valley region in 2010. [264] This finding is based on health valuation of lethal (death) and sub-lethal (illness) affects. The problem is even more acute in the developing world. "Children ...
