MIT study highlights deadly effects of air pollution on national health
Science Recorder
California suffers the most dire health impacts from air pollution of all of the states. The researchers conducted a state-by-state analysis of ground-level emissions from such sources as vehicle tailpipes, industrial smokestacks, marine and rail operations, in addition to commercial and residential heating throughout the nation, and discovered that roughly 200,000 premature deaths attributable to the effects of these emissions occur each year.
