Valuation of health benefits associated with reductions in air pollution

In May 2004 Defra published 'Valuation of Health Benefits Associated with Reductions in Air Pollution'. This report concentrates on generating a range of monetary values for various key mortality and morbidity benefits and aims to use the results to help inform appraisals of air quality impacts.

Following this report, an expert workshop on the Valuation of Health Benefits of Reductions in Air Pollution and the Use of Values in Appraisal was held in June 2004. This workshop provided an opportunity to compare the results of the Defra study with relevant economic and epidemiological evidence and explored the possibility of using the results in policy appraisals.
