Air pollution impacts the health of wild pollinators

(National Centre for Biological Sciences) We have almost no idea how air pollution affects other organisms who breathe the same air as we do. In some of the first research in the world to try to address the physiological and molecular impacts of air pollution on our wild plants and animals, scientists from the Bangalore Life Science Cluster show that air pollution could be devastating for organisms we rely on most for our own survival - like the honey bee.
