The UW researchers reached this conclusion by analyzing data from the Environmental Protection Agency and by using health models to gauge the benefits of eliminating air-polluting particulates, including sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.said Jonathan Patz While states could still potentially save lives if they acted alone, there would be greater benefits with higher levels of cooperation, due to how these types of particulates transport themselves over state lines, noted the study’s lead author, graduate student Nicholas Mailloux.. “But, if they act in concert with partners in the region or as part of a nationwide effort, you get more benefit.”
