Health effects and social costs of particulate pollution – a case study for Oslo

Environmental Modeling & Assessment Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

This study analyses health damages from particulate pollution and the corresponding social costs. The analyses, which are based on transferring dose–response functions to Norway, is made within an integrated approach, where the economic impacts of the health damages are handled separately from the non‐economic welfare effects. We find that the social costs of health damages in Oslo are significant, and that the non‐economic welfare effects clearly dominate the cost figure.
