| Summary: | This report, created with the support of
the Structural Reform Support Program of the European
Commission (EC), provides an estimate of the health impacts
of current concentrations of air pollutants in the Republic
of Slovakia across its 72 districts (the two biggest cities
are counted as one each) and evaluates the benefits of
measures to reduce concentrations of pollutants relative to
the costs of such measures. At the same time, a toolkit is
prepared so that similar analyses can be conducted in the
future. The study is motivated by the need to better
understand the extent of the health consequences of the
levels of ambient air pollution in Slovakia (which is among
the highest in Europe) and to evaluate different actions to
improve air quality in terms of their benefits relative to
their costs. In this way policy actions to address air
pollution can be more cost effective. |
