Julian MarshallMost people know about the Volkswagen emission scandal from 2015, where engineers intentionally cheated on emission-control regulations.
I just learned, via a biography on Arie Haagen-Smit, that Volkswagen may also have been the first car company to try avoid emission controls: in 1969 (prior to the Clean Air Act), they were temporarily banned from sales in California because they didn't submit certification of emissions!

New NBER working paper uses pollution readings of NO2 and finds accidents at construction sites increase 4-fold when NO2 is above the EPA threshold, particularly for cognitively taxing jobs.
