Methodologies for Assessing the Real Costs to Health of Environmental Stressors

Project description

Health cost of air pollution and drinking water nitrate

Public authorities need regular use of integrated economic and health modelling in impact assessments and socioeconomic analysis concerning health costs of air pollution and drinking water nitrate. The EU-funded MARCHES project will advance methodological rigour and consistency in accounting for the welfare economic health costs. The project will rely on systematic reviews of health effects, extend the consensus on established approaches to premature mortality with disability adjustment of the associated morbidity burdens and develop European-wide exposure modelling for integrated assessment. MARCHES will design guidelines and provide unit prices for an accounting approach that EU and national authorities can routinely apply, depending on data availability and policy scenarios.

Objective

To underpin regular use of integrated economic and health modeling in impact assessments and socio-economic analysis by public authorities, the MARCHES project aims to advance methodological rigor and consistency in accounting for the welfare economic health costs of air pollution and drinking water nitrate, based on systematic reviews of health effects, and by extending the consensus on established approaches on premature mortality with disability-adjustment of the associated morbidity burdens, while developing European-wide exposure modeling for integrated assessment. Based on expert and stakeholder consultations, the project will provide guidelines and unit prices for an accounting approach that can be applied routinely by EU and national authorities, subject to data availability and policy scenarios. This will be demonstrated in case studies with public authorities in five Member States (CZ; DK; EE; ES; SE) and in one west-Balkan country (XK).
