Air pollution from farms leads to 17,900 U S deaths per year, study finds

Air pollution from farms leads to 17,900 U.S. deaths per year, study finds Sarah Kaplan © Alex Wroblewski/Bloomberg A hog farm stands surrounded by floodwater in this aerial photograph taken above Vanceboro, N.C., U.S., in 2018 in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence. A new study claims that more than 17,000 annual deaths are attributable to pollution from farms across the U.S. The smell of hog feces was overwhelming, Elsie Herring said. The breezes that wafted from the hog farm next to her mother’s Duplin County, N.C., home carried hazardous gases: methane, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide. “The odor is so offensive that we start gagging, we start coughing,” she told a congressional committee in November 2019. Herring, who died last week, said she and other residents developed headaches, breathing problems and heart conditions from the fumes.
