Transcript
GHG Mitigation Strategies,
Air Pollution, & Health
• Globally ancillary benefits may be 30% – 100% abatement costs
• Public health improvement and “knock-on” effect to health services from
reductions in air pollutants account for approximately 80% total value
ancillary benefits in US
• Canada proposed GHG emissions reductions would also reduce
– SO2 by 9%, NOx by 7% of annual emissions
– 3,300 premature deaths per year avoided in Canada w/15% GHG reduction
(based on PM reduction only)
• GHG reductions in 4 cities would avoid (through 2020)
– 64,000 premature deaths
– 65,000 chronic bronchitis cases
– 37 million person-days of restricted activity or work loss
