External health costs due to traffic related air pollution in Switzerland

Description: Das Projekt "External health costs due to traffic related air pollution in Switzerland" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Bern, Institut für Sozial- und Präventivmedizin, Abteilung Internationale Gesundheit & Umwelt, Ressort Umwelt und Gesundheit durchgeführt. This study establishes the external health costs caused by air pollution in Switzerland in the year 2000. The primary focus is on road and rail traffic related air pollution. First of all, the population's exposure to airborne pollutants is determined. Based on this, the additional cases of illness and death caused by air pollution are calculated. Using specific cost rates per incidence of illness and death, the impacts on health are then converted into monetary units. Where road traffic is concerned, health costs related to air pollution run to some 1,525 million CHF, of which 57 percent or 871 million CHF are caused by passenger transport, while the remaining 43 percent or 655 million CHF are caused by freight transport. The corresponding figure for rail traffic is 100 million CHF (46 percent passenger and 54 percent freight transport). Air pollution overall - caused by traffic, industry, commerce, households, agriculture and forestry - results in costs of 4,204 million CHF. This figure corresponds to 628 CHF per capita, or compared to GDP it is in the order of magnitude of 1.12 percent.
