Choma, Ernani F., et al. Health benefits of decreases in on-road transportation emissions in the United States from 2008 to 2017. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 118.51 (2021)
Objective:
- Estimate the benefits of recent emissions reductions of on-road transportation in the contiguous US occuring between 2008 and 2017
Case:
- US
Methodology:
- Global exposure mortality model
Data Source
- in Code
Findings:
- 19800 deaths attributable to PM2.5 from transportation emissions in 2017, the figure is 2.4 times as high under 2008 EFs
- Regulation continues yield benefits: $270 billion in 2017 from reduced PM2.5 attributable mortality and GHG emissions
