A recent study found that natural pest control using parasitic insects declined due to air pollution.

Air pollution 'threatens' methods of natural pest control undertaken by farmers to become more sustainable, researchers have warned.

Amid the smog, butterflies, bees and other insects are having a hard time smelling the flowers they so dutifully pollinate. Researchers found that common, ground-level air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (found in diesel exhaust fumes) and ozone react with floral scents, leading to reduced pollination, according to a newly published study in the journal […]

Some bug populations were reduced up to 70 percent in areas exposed to diesel exhaust and ozone contamination

A new study has found that air pollution from urban and rural environments may be harming the pollination abilities of insects like butterflies and bees by stopping them from sniffing out wildflowers and crops that depend on them.
