External costs of atmospheric Pb emissions: valuation of neurotoxic impacts due to inhalation
BACKGROUND The Impact Pathway Approach (IPA) is an innovative methodology to establish links between emissions, related impacts and monetary estimates. Only few attempts have so far been presented regarding emissions of metals; in this study the external costs of airborne lead (Pb) emissions are assessed using the IPA. Exposure to Pb is known to provoke impacts especially on children's cognitio...
متن کاملExternal Costs of Air Emissions from Transportation
The production of equipment and materials used for transportation facilities and services can have significant environmental effects. Considerable effort is expended to reduce such effects as efficiently and effectively as possible. In this paper, we estimate external environmental costs resulting from the production of common transportation equipment, materials, and services. These external co...
متن کاملUncertainty in Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Costs of Atmospheric Stabilization
We explore the uncertainty in projections of emissions, and costs of atmospheric stabilization applying the MIT Emissions Prediction and Policy Analysis (EPPA) model, a computable general equilibrium model of the global economy. Monte Carlo simulation with Latin Hypercube Sampling is applied to draw 400 samples from probability distributions for 100 parameters in the EPPA model, including labor...
متن کاملDecrease of emissions required to stabilize atmospheric CO2 due to positive carbon cycle–climate feedbacks
[1] Positive feedbacks between the carbon cycle and climate have the potential to accelerate the accumulation of atmospheric CO2 over the next century. Here, I address the question of how climate-induced carbon cycle changes could affect the emissions required to stabilize atmospheric CO2 at 1000 ppmv. From a coupled climate-carbon cycle simulation, I calculated emissions that are consistent wi...
متن کاملMaculopathy due to drug inhalation.
CASE REPORT A case of maculopathy due to "poppers" is described. DISCUSSION Poppers is a drug composed of various forms of alkyl nitrite. A 39 year-old man, who had been using poppers for years, was seen in the clinic with phosphenes, reduced visual acuity and central scotoma. The SD-OCT in the right eye showed disruption at the level of the IS/OS junction line. The SD-OCT scan in the left ey...
