PM2.5 Benefit Per Ton Estimates
The tables below are updated versions of the tables appearing in The influence of location, source, and emission type in estimates of the human health benefits of reducing a ton of air pollution (Fann, Fulcher and Hubbell 2009). These tables reflect the use of a different VSL estimate than that used to produce the table in the published article. Please contact benmap@epa.gov with questions.
