“…However, all these stages -and particularly the assessment stage -contain a reasonable amount of uncertainty, and as a result, the estimates of the socioeconomic cost of air pollutant emissions have proved to be highly variable, and many times, conflicting (Murphy and Delucchi, 1998;McCubbin and Delucchi, 1999;Quah and Boon, 2003).…”

O objetivo básico do trabalho foi avaliar os custos econômicos relacionados às doenças dos aparelhos respiratório e circulatório no município de Cubatão (SP). Para tanto, foram utilizados dados de internação e dias de trabalho perdidos com a internação (na faixa dos 14 aos 70 anos de idade), na base de dados do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Resultados: A partir dos dados levantados, calculou-se o valor total de R$ 22,1 milhões gastos no período de 2000 a 2009 devido às doenças dos aparelhos circulatório e respiratório. Parte desses gastos pode estar diretamente relacionada à emissão de poluentes atmosféricos no município. Para se estimar os custos da poluição foram levantados dados de outros dois municípios da Região da Baixada Santista (Guarujá e Peruíbe), com menor atividade industrial em comparação a Cubatão. Verificou-se que, em ambos, as médias de gastos per capita em relação às duas doenças são menores do que em Cubatão, mas que essa diferença vem diminuindo sensivelmente nos últimos anos.

“…For the most part these rates indicate improved air quality benefits from the use of transit over automobile travel if the latest heavy duty diesel engine technologies are adopted over the next decade, largely because of the projected reductions in tailpipe emitted particulate matter from diesel engines, currently thought to be a leading contributor to human health damages from motor vehicle emissions (see McCubbin and DeLucchi, 1999;Delucchi, 2000). These assumptions and their implications are detailed in Chapter 4 of this report.…”

“…This includes the studies reviewed by Gomez-Ibanez (1997), by Krupnick, Rowe and Lang (1997), and by Litman, (1999) for selected highway modes, including the work of Small and Kazimi (1995), Rowe, et al (1996), Krupnick, Rowe and Lang (1997), Delucchi and McDubbin (1996), McCubbin andDelucchi, 1999, andDelucchi (2000). Translated into approximate 1998 costs these estimates span a range from 1 to 16 cents per vehicle mile for light duty automobiles versus a range of approximately 5 cents to a $1.50 per diesel bus vehicle mile of travel.…”

Efficient vehicles, such as this hybrid SUV, consume less fuel per mile but tend to be driven more miles and so increase congestion, road and parking facility costs, crashes and some environmental impacts. This paper investigates these tradeoffs. AbstractThis paper compares four transportation energy conservation strategies using a comprehensive evaluation framework that takes into account how each strategy affects annual vehicle travel, and therefore mileage-related impacts such as traffic congestion, road and parking facility costs, and crashes. These mileage-related impacts tend to be large in magnitude compared with energy conservation benefits, so even small changes in total vehicle travel can have a large impact on net benefits. Fuel efficiency standards and some alternative fuels cause vehicle travel to increase. Higher fuel taxes cause a combination of increased vehicle fuel economy and reduced mileage. Mobility management strategies cause relatively large mileage reductions and so provide the greatest mileage-related benefits. Conventional evaluation practices often overlook mileage-related impacts and so tend to overvalue strategies that increase vehicle fuel efficiency and undervalue mobility management strategies.
