Air Pollution Study Aims at Crop Damage at Delaware
University of Delaware researchers announce a $10,000 grant from the Health and Welfare department for a six month program to measure how air pollutants affect crops and ornamentals. Dr. Morris Crossan will lead the project to identify pollutants and develop prevention methods amid rising pollution from industry and traffic. Early findings from New Jersey show spinach, alfalfa, beans and petunias affected, with crop losses estimated in the millions along the East Coast.
