Abstract |
The first four volumes summarized by this volume represent original efforts to construct both a conceptually consistent and empirically verifiable set of methods for assessing the economic benefits of air quality improvements. While the state-of-the-art does not at present allow highly accurate estimates of the benefits of reduced human or plant exposure to air pollutants, these studies nevertheless provide a set of fundamental benchmarks on which further efforts might be built. These are: (1) many benefits traditionally viewed as intangible and therefore non-measurable can, in fact, be measured and be made comparable to economic values as expressed in markets; (2) aesthetic and morbidity effects may dominate the measure of benefits as opposed to previous emphases on mortality health effects; and (3) the likely economic benefits of air quality improvements are perhaps as much as an order of magnitude greater than previous studies had hypothesized. |
