Smog Threatens Global Food Supply Revealed by Scientist
A Science journal study by Chameides warns photochemical smog from auto and factory emissions could lower world food yields over 30 years. Ozone levels of 50 to 70 parts per billion may reduce crop vigor, potentially cutting production by about 5 percent with chronic pollution in regions like China possibly becoming persistent by 2025. The model suggests wheat and soy beans are most affected, though resistant varieties could be developed.
