The Air Benefit and Cost Group (ABCG) develops
benefits analyses to quantify the value of improving human health
and reducing environmental impacts of air pollution regulations.
Benefits analyses include both quantitative and qualitative estimates
of reducing exposure of humands and the environment to ambient concentrations
of air pollution. Further details about benefits analyses completed
by ABCG can be found in Chapter
7 of the OAQPS
Economic Analysis Resource Document.
Below is a listing of benefits analyses that have been completed
by ABCG. To download a report, click on the appropriate link.

Expanded Expert Judgment Assessment of the Concentration-Response Relationship Between PM2.5 Exposure and Mortality:
This expert elicitation report was prepared in support of the characterization of uncertainty in EPA's benefits analyses associated with reductions in exposure to particulate matter pollution. As recommended by the National Academy of Sciences, EPA is using expert judgment as part of an effort to better describe the uncertanties inherent in any benefits analysis. This report and its findings are intended solely for this purpose. |
