The health impacts and related economic costs of air pollution are highly site-specific and not evenly distributed: they vary depending on regional and local emission sources, atmospheric dispersion, and population exposure patterns. The EVA model system (Economic Valuation of Air pollution) integrates air pollution data from atmospheric models —capturing atmospheric dispersion, and chemical transformation of the pollutants— with population data (density, age distribution) to estimate human exposures. As part of the MARCHES project, the EVA model will provide unit damage costs for 37 European countries.
