Air pollution caused by corn production increases mortality rate in US

by University of Minnesota
 

A new study establishes that environmental damage caused by corn production results in 4,300 premature deaths annually in the United States, representing a monetized cost of $39 billion.

The paper, published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Sustainability, presents how researchers have estimated for the first time the health damages caused by corn production using detailed information on pollution emissions, pollution transport by wind, and human exposure to increased air pollution levels. Corn is a key agricultural crop used for animal feed, ethanol biofuel, and human consumption.

Does this mean the E - 85 used to make cars pollute less is actually causing the whole process to make it worse?  That sounds like a typical "scientific" plan by the government.

Sound like b.s. to me.
The real answer is "blowin' in the wind"...
