Abstract

This study aims to assess the effects of environmental pollutants (air pollutants) in various sectors on healthcare expenditures in Iran. The data are analyzed using the panel data method using SPSS 26 software for 2000-2020 Dickey-Fullerm and Fisher's unit root tests indicate co-existence between variables. The results of the Hausman test show a fixed-effects model for long-term estimation. The effectiveness of emissions of industrial pollutants (carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide) in the studied industries is equal to 0.012. Also, the share of fossil fuels in greenhouse gas emissions in different sectors is equal to 0.056 and positive, and the logarithm of research and development costs is equal to -0.12, which by increasing the research and development budget can provide solutions to reduce pollution, as well as the transfer of new technologies and innovations, has significantly reduced the destructive effects of industrial, commercial, etc. pollution.
