Economic valuation of reducing air pollutants for precautionary air conservation policies

Abstract: The lack of air quality data related to consumer behaviour complicates the use of the demand function approach (DFA) to decide whether to implement air pollutant reduction projects. This study examines the applicability of face mask demand and analyses the impact factors responsible for the DFA. The value of the benefits ranged from USD 4.23 (JPY 508) to USD 103.83 (JPY 12,471). The results show that the DFA is applicable when using correspondence tables between air quality and health status.
