| Presentations and publications | - 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. - Economic Analysis to Strategies of Air Pollution Control

Resolver problemas ambientales, tanto en países en desarrollo como industrializados el desafío parece ser mayor que simplemente aplicar una tarifa a los contaminadores. El propósito de este libro es mostrar de que instrumentos indirectos diseñados para reducir la escala de producción podrían ser medidas complementarias importantes en un costo-efecto del programa de control de la contaminación. - Health Effects of Air Pollution – Research and Regulation

- Economic Valuation of the Health Impacts of Air Pollution
This module 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. - Improving Air Quality in Metropolitan Mexico City: An Economic Valuation
The annuyal health benefits of a 10 percent reduction in ozone and PM10 in Mexico City, conservatively estimated, are approximately $760 million (in 1999 U.S. dollars) annually. Reducing PM10 has larger estimated health benefits than reducing ozone, with each microgram per cubic centimeter reduction in PM10 worth about $100 million per year.
