Algorithms might be designed, for example, to infer how many times per day a refrigerator door was opened (relevant to dietary and obesity studies), the times of day a residence was occupied (relevant to air pollution health studies), and even the pattern of sleep (relevant to a variety of health studies).
It may be a confounding variable in studies of air pollution or other causes of disease.
At the same time, our environment is too dirty: Studies show that pollution (such as exhaust fumes) can trigger allergic flare-ups.
Previous studies have suggested pollution, destructive fishing practices and climate change have already caused major damage to many of the colonies of sealife colonies that were built up over thousands of years.
The results contrast with other studies, which have found adverse effects of light pollution on wildlife.

And while the Energy Policy Act of 2005 prevents the EPA from explicitly regulating fracking wells under the Safe Drinking Water Act, both the EPA and the Ground Water Protection Council, a nonprofit made up of state regulatory agencies, have published studies determining that no documented evidence of fracking-sourced groundwater pollution has been found.
Michael K. Dorsey, a professor of environmental studies at Dartmouth and coauthor of Carbon Trading, says that while pollution-trading programs work in the U.S. to control pollutants like sulfur dioxide, it will be hard to track such schemes in developing nations.
