Evaluating reduced-form modeling tools for simulating ozone and PM_2.5 monetized health impacts.

ABSTRACT: Reduced-form modeling approaches are an increasingly popular way to rapidly estimate air quality and human health impacts related to changes in air pollutant emissions. These approaches reduce computation time by making simplifying assumptions about pollutant source characteristics, transport and chemistry. Two reduced form tools used by the Environmental Protection Agency in recent assessments are source apportionment-based benefit per ton (SA BPT) and source apportionment-based air quality surfaces (SABAQS). In this work, we apply these two reduced form tools to predict changes in ambient summer-season ozone, ambient annual PM_2.5 component species and monetized health benefits for multiple sector-specific emission control scenarios: on-road mobile, electricity generating units
