TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the human health effects of air pollution caused by the production of maize and find that reduced air quality resulting from maize production is associated with 4,300 premature deaths annually in the United States, with estimated damages in monetary terms of US$39 billion (range: US$14-64 billion).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that exposure to air pollution is associated with 100,000-200000 deaths annually in the United States, and that reducing the number of deaths effectively, efficien...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the air quality-related health damages attributable to 95 agricultural commodities and 67 final food products, which encompass >99% of agricultural production in the United States.
