TRANSPACIFIC POLLUTION LEAVES THICKER AND THICKER TRAIL
         Rising industrialization in Asia is discharging millions
         of tons of previously undetected contaminants annually into
         the winds that travel across the Pacific Ocean, researchers
         say. The aerosols are killing crops and spreading illness
         in Asia. They're probably polluting waters in America. And
         they could dramatically alter global climate.
