There are four other volumes in this series:
- Volume 2 (Comparative Analysis of Approaches to Valuing Health Risks) contains a comparative assessment of work on valuing health risks. Based on assessment, a set of interim morbidity and mortality values applicable to effects of criteria air pollutants is developed.
- Volume 3 (Contingent Valuation Study of Light Symptoms and Angina) reports on a study developing and applying contingent valuation techniques to the types of light symptoms often attributed to air pollution.
- Volume 4 (Valuation of Reductions in Human Health Symptoms and Risks) reports on the design of approaches for valuing serious or life threatening illnesses.
- In addition, there is another summary volume (A Set of Morbidity and Mortality Values for Environmental Assessment, which summarizes some of the values obtained in these and other reports and includes some of the survey questions used to obtain them in these reports. All of these reports can be downloaded from their report profiles linked above. If you would like to download this volume you can do so from its report profile.
