![MIT researchers found a more dramatic decline in organic aerosol across the U.S. than previously reported, which may account for more lives saved than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency anticipated in a 2011 report on the Clean Air Act and amendments. The study found that the decline is likely due to human behaviors.

![Photo: MIT Joint Program Research Scientist Jennifer Morris and her collaborators have developed a tool that can help planners in power companies decide what kinds of new generating facilities to build, given uncertainty around future limits on carbon emissions. Their analyses show that including non-carbon generation in the mix will reduce the long-term economic risk of decisions made today.
