Upon competition of a ten year research project which analyzes the effect of air pollution and death rates in US cities, Lave and Seskin conclude that the mortality rate in the US could shrink by seven percent with a similar if not greater decline in disease incidence if industries followed EPA regulations in cutting back on certain pollutant emissions. The authors claim that this reduction is sufficient to add one year to average life expectancy.
