Objectives:
The aim is to capture the economic-wide pollution costs in an
additive way.
Specifically for Air Pollution we will be addressing
1. The air pollution in India: an international comparison
assessment
2. Air quality management scenario referring to data in relation to-
measured concentrations of air pollution from representative sites,
for all key pollutants, emission data from all significant sources
for all key pollutants, spatial and temporal variation, emission
conditions (stack height, etc.), relevant measured meteorological
data for the dispersion of emissions, topographical data and
population data including number of residents for each referendum
district and age distribution. for relevant averaging times (hour,
day, month, year);
3. How significant are the health costs in respect to other damages
due to air emissions?
4. Quantification of the health effects due to exposure to
particulates: evidence from international experience as well as of
India
5. Economic valuation of the health impacts due to air pollution
6. Health impacts and priorities for pollution control: a case of
Chennai
7. Summary of issues: the need for integrating health and
environmental policiesFor
Water Pollution we will be addressing
1. Comparing the technical standards and the scenario in India and
worldwide
2. The water-borne diseases and the health costs associated with
them
3. Economic valuation of the water quality in some of the
significant rivers which are affected by the effluents from
industries as well as households focusing mainly on studies in
relation to river Ganga..
