Common air pollutants from both urban and rural environments may be reducing the pollinating abilities of insects by preventing them from sniffing out the crops and wildflowers that depend on them, new research seems to show. The theory is that the pollutants react with and change the scents of flowers, making them harder to find.

Dirty windows can harbour potentially harmful pollutants under protective films of fatty acids from cooking emissions – and these can hang around over long periods of time. In addition, toxic pollutants can become trapped underneath this persistent crust and are then protected from breakdown in the atmosphere.
