Attribution of Ozone Pollution Control Benefits to Individual Sources
Result description
Adjoint sensitivity analysis of numerical models provides a platform for directly linking public health effects with air quality for evaluating emission control policies in a straightforward manner. We link epidemiological and valuation statistics to theadjoint of CMAQ and calculate sensitivities of short-term mortality-related benefits in Canada, the U.S. and Europe to anthropogenic NOx and VOC emissions across two continental do-mains. Our results show significant spatial and temporal variability inhealth benefit impacts of NOx and VOC emissions reduction on short-term mortality. We estimate that sensitivities of mortality-related benefits to 10% NOx emissions reduction in major cities reach monetary values in excess of $630K/day in Europe and $270K/day in North America. We find that when the cumulative effects of anthropogenic emissions on O3 and NO2 population exposure are considered, NOx emissions reduction yields significantly higher mortality-related benefits than the same rel
