Book Synopsis Do We Pay for Clean Air by : Olena Chekmezova
Download or read book Do We Pay for Clean Air written by Olena Chekmezova and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a consistent view, supported by the environmental Kuznets curve and popularized by the World Development Report, that middle-income countries place less value on the quality of environmental goods than rich countries. This book, therefore, investigates whether people in Ukraine, lower-middle-income country, do pay attention to air quality or not, comparing to people in high-income countries. Estimation of marginal willingness to pay for the air quality improvement using hedonic price analysis is conducted for housing market in Kyiv (Ukraine). The analysis should be especially useful for policy makers, who could compare costs associated with the reduction in air pollution and benefits from improving the air quality while implementing environmental policies, real estate specialists, and economists.
Book Synopsis Better Air by : Jessica Lincoln-Oswalt

Book excerpt: The authorities and responsibilities of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) derive primarily from a dozen major environmental statutes. This book provides a concise summary of one of those statutes, the Clean Air Act. It provides a brief history of federal involvement in air quality regulation and of the provisions added by legislation in 1970, 1977 and 1990. It also explains major authorities contained in the Act as well as key terms and references for more detailed information on the Act and its implementation.
Book Synopsis Clean Air Policy and Alternative Fuels by : Kevin N. Rask
Download or read book Clean Air Policy and Alternative Fuels written by Kevin N. Rask and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Clean Air Act has set ambient air quality standards for the United States. Areas that violate these standards (usually large urban centers) are required to use cleaner- burning automotive fuels (oxygenated fuels) during the winter months in some cases, and year-round (reformulated gasoline) in the worst cases. However, cleaning-up our aggregate automobile emissions can be done through many different methods. Using both cross-section and panel data from the California emissions testing program this paper investigates the environmental benefits gained by the use of oxygenated automotive fuels (oxyfuels). It estimates the actual emissions abatement due to the fuel, controlling for the characteristics of the car and driver. The results suggest the emissions gains are probably lower than previously thought (with respect to carbon monoxide emissions) due to the differential impact of the fuel on different model years. Cars built since 1987 appear to have no emissions gains as a result of using oxyfuels. These results lend support for the investigation of other, more cost-effective solutions to lowering automotive pollution.

Book Synopsis Willingness to Pay for Clean Air: Evidence from the UK by : Giorgio Maarraoui
Download or read book Willingness to Pay for Clean Air: Evidence from the UK written by Giorgio Maarraoui and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2023-02-17 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper uses life satisfaction data to help the design of climate mitigation policies in the United Kingdom. We assess the effects of the exposure to ambient pollutants on long-term life satisfaction and short-term mental health in the UK. We estimate augmented Cobb-Douglas utility functions using pooled and random effects ordinal logit models. Results show that increases in NO2, PM10 and PM2.5 significantly decrease the odds of longterm happiness and short-term mental health in the UK. The willingness to pay for clean air is also significant and increases with level of education. These measurements derived can be used as benchmarks for pollution abatement subsidies or pollution taxes and can help in projecting a more comprehensive assessment of costs and benefits.

Book excerpt: "The United States Code is the official codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States of America. The Code was first published in 1926, and a new edition of the code has been published every six years since 1934. The 2012 edition of the Code incorporates laws enacted through the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, Second Session, the last of which was signed by the President on January 15, 2013. It does not include laws of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, enacted between January 2, 2013, the date it convened, and January 15, 2013. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 2012 ed." As adopted in 1926, the Code established prima facie the general and permanent laws of the United States. The underlying statutes reprinted in the Code remained in effect and controlled over the Code in case of any discrepancy. In 1947, Congress began enacting individual titles of the Code into positive law. When a title is enacted into positive law, the underlying statutes are repealed and the title then becomes legal evidence of the law. Currently, 26 of the 51 titles in the Code have been so enacted. These are identified in the table of titles near the beginning of each volume. The Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives continues to prepare legislation pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b to enact the remainder of the Code, on a title-by-title basis, into positive law. The 2012 edition of the Code was prepared and published under the supervision of Ralph V. Seep, Law Revision Counsel. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contributions by all who helped in this work, particularly the staffs of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and the Government Printing Office"--Preface.

Download or read book Willingness to Pay for Clean Air written by Koichiro Ito and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We develop a framework to estimate willingness to pay (WTP) for clean air from defensive investment. Applying this framework to product-by-store level scanner data on air purifier sales in China, we provide among the first revealed preference estimates of WTP for clean air in developing countries. A spatial discontinuity in air pollution created by the Huai River heating policy enables us to analyze household responses to long-run exposure to pollution. Our model allows heterogeneity in preference parameters to investigate potential heterogeneity in WTP among households. We show that our estimates provide important policy implications for optimal environmental regulation.

Book Synopsis The Invisible Killer by : Gary Fuller
Download or read book The Invisible Killer written by Gary Fuller and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An urgent examination of one of the biggest global crises facing us today--air pollution--looking at the drastic worsening of the problem, and what we can do about it. "Fascinating, readable, and terrifying in equal measure." —Mark Lynas, author of Six Degrees The air pollution that we breathe every day is largely invisible—but it is killing us. How did it get this bad, and how can we stop it? Far from a modern-day problem, scientists were aware of the impact of air pollution as far back as the seventeenth century. Now, as more of us live in cities, we are closer than ever to pollution sources, and the detrimental impact on the environment and our health has reached crisis point. The Invisible Killer will introduce you to the incredible individuals whose groundbreaking research paved the way to today's understanding of air pollution, often at their own detriment. Gary Fuller's global story examines devastating incidents from London's Great Smog to Norway's acid rain; Los Angeles's traffic problem to wood-burning damage in New Zealand. Fuller argues that the only way to alter the future course of our planet and improve collective global health is for city and national governments to stop ignoring evidence and take action, persuading the public and making polluters bear the full cost of the harm that they do. The decisions that we make today will impact on our health for decades to come. The Invisible Killer is an essential book for our times and a cautionary tale we need to take heed of.
