Economc valuation of the health impacts of air pollution
This document presents a brief overview of the methods commonly used to quantify the health impacts of air pollution and to value them. We focus on translating changes in ambient air quality into associated cases of premature mortality and morbidity and on the methods used to value these health effects. A case study “Improving Air Quality in Metropolitan Mexico City: An Economic Valuation,” is used to illustrate the application of these methods.
