Alireza Rezaee and Lung-Wen Antony Chen (both Environmental & Occupational Health), Ge Lin (Epidemiology & Biostatistics), Mark Buttner and Max Gakh (both Environmental & Occupational Health), and Emma Frances Bloomfield (Communication Studies) published an article on "Air Quality Health Benefits of the Nevada Renewable Portfolio Standard" in the journal Atmosphere.

This study aims to provide the first assessment on the health benefits of implementing a state renewable portfolio standards such as the one in Nevada through reducing emissions of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 μm (PM_2.5 ) and precursors and subsequently exposures to outdoor PM_2.5 in- and out-side the state. 

Rezaee is a graduate student.
