“…We chose a third approach, the engineering cost approach to estimate MAC functions (e.g., EPA, ; Karvosenoja & Johansson, ; Kilmont, Amann, & Cofala, ; Rousseau & Proost, ). This approach requires, for each source in our sample, data on available emission control options, emission reductions associated with each technology, and the annual costs of implementing the technology.…”

This paper analyzes the potential implications, in terms of net social costs and distribution of risks and abatement costs, of a policy to address the problem of air toxics "hot spots." The policy we analyze involves regulation of air toxics sources at increasingly finer spatial resolutions. We develop a model of a decisionmaker choosing emission standards within a net cost minimization framework. Empirical application of the model to two counties in Florida demonstrates that regulation at finer resolutions could involve tradeoffs between net social costs and equitable distribution of risks and, in some settings, between individual and population risks.

“…We estimate marginal MC functions using an engineering cost approach, which is a common method in the literature (e.g., Kilmont et al, 2000;EPA, 2003;Karvosenoja and Johansson, 2003;Rousseau and Proost, 2005). Ideally, the MC functions should be derived for each source based on the data specific to the source.…”

“…The integrated assessment model (IAM) RAINS includes costefficiency estimates for emission control measures, allowing for effects-targeted cost optimization at European scale. More detailed national studies are important to describe country-specific circumstances on emissions (Karvosenoja and Johansson 2003a) and costs (Karvosenoja and Johansson 2003b). They include, inter alia, fine sectoral resolution, description of large point sources, additional abatement options, detailed vintage and constraints on implementing measures within the planning period.…”

Policies to reduce adverse health impacts of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) require information on costs of abatement and associated costs. This paper explores the potential for cost-efficient control of anthropogenic primary PM 2.5 emissions in Finland. Based on a Kyoto-compliant energy projection, two emission control scenarios for 2020 were developed. 'Baseline' assumes implementation of PM controls in compliance with existing legislation. 'Reduction' assumes ambitious further reductions. Emissions for 2020 were estimated at 26 and 18.6 Gg a −1 for 'Baseline' and 'Reduction', respectively. The largest abatement potential, 3.0 Gg a −1 , was calculated for power plants and industrial combustion. The largest potential with marginal costs below 5000 A C Mg(PM 2.5 ) −1 was for domestic wood combustion, 1.7 Gg a −1 . For traffic the potential was estimated at 1.0 Gg a −1 , but was associated with high costs. The results from this paper are used in the policy-driven national integrated assessment modeling that explores cost-efficient reductions of the health impacts of PM.
