Abstract
AbstractThis chapter focuses on the evaluation of air quality and health impacts associated with direct emissions of air pollutants for different REFLEX scenarios based on the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response framework. Ambient concentration of air pollutants is calculated with the use of the Polyphemus Air Quality System. Health impacts are calculated using the concentration-response functions. Results show that particulate matter emissions in Europe will decrease by 10 times till 2050. Also ambient pollutants concentrations decrease in 2050 in all REFLEX scenarios. This leads to the reduction of external costs of almost 20 billion EUR per year.
