The value of pollution removal in terms of avoided negative health outcomes across 17 US cities was, on average, 15.6 million per year. The majority of the removal value came from the reduction of particulate matter < 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5), followed by ozone (O3).
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participant will be able to describe the economic value of reduced negative health outcomes that can be attributable to the urban forest in 17 cities.
Upon completion, participant will be able to define which air pollutants have the most impact on the total value of air pollution removal.
