Health and environmental consequences of crop residue burning correlated with increasing crop yields midst India’s Green Revolution
T. Huang, J. Ma, et al.
This study by Tao Huang and colleagues reveals the dark side of India's Green Revolution: while crop yields flourished, so did the hazardous burning of crop residue, leading to alarming levels of benzo[a]pyrene pollution.
