What environmental problem(s)is/are related to increased corn production in the U.S.?
A) Air pollution
B) Nutrient pollution of waterways
C) Ozone depletion
D) Infectious disease spread

Increased corn production in the U.S. contributes to air pollution due to the emissions from farming equipment and the production of fertilizers. It also leads to nutrient pollution of waterways, as runoff from fertilized fields carries nitrogen and phosphorus into rivers and streams, causing eutrophication.
