The Unintended Benefits of the Conservation Reserve Program for Air Quality
GeoHealth, 2022 The link between agriculture and air pollution is well‐established, as are the benefits of the US Department of Agriculture's Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). However, little research has linked CRP to air quality directly.

Differential toxicities of fine particulate matters from various sources [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractFine particulate matters less than 2.5 µm (PM2.5) in the ambient atmosphere are strongly associated with adverse health effects. However, it is unlikely that all fine particles are equally toxic in view of their different sizes and chemical components.

Modeling residential fine particulate matter infiltration for exposure assessment [PDF]
Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology, 2008 Individuals spend the majority of their time indoors; therefore, estimating infiltration of outdoor-generated fine particulate matter (PM(2.5)) can help reduce exposure misclassification in epidemiological studies. As indoor measurements in individual homes are not feasible in large epidemiological studies, we evaluated the potential of using readily ...
