Title: | Assessing the health benefits of air pollution reduction for children |
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences |
---|
Description: | This study estimated that the inclusion of child-specific data on hospitalizations, emergency department visits, school absences and low birth weight would add $1-2 billion to the predicted cost estimates of decreased morbidity and mortality derived from the US Clean Air Act (CAA). The results highlighted the need for environmental health policy analyses to include improved information for children's health effects. |
