Particle emission costs US
This document contains preliminary numbers for US particle and NOx costs. The cost are in terms of social cost covering healthcare, potential loss in productivity etc.
Bold font rows are the final datapoints.
The values are good approximations, but they may still be subject to change. For some cost data points we have assumed that the uncertainty in the data itself balances out potential inflation effects on the cost, hence we present the the cost in the currency as presented in the source.
