Valuation of environmental stressors
What's the cost of chemical emissions and air pollution?
Recognizing the costs of chemicals and air pollution in policy making
EU project VALESOR aims to make major contributions to the efforts in science and policy to accomodate the economic values of environmental stressors in policy making.

What’s the (health) cost of pollution?
Dementia, kidney disease, hypertension, asthma, chronic bronchitis, fertility loss and cancers. The list of known health impacts from air pollution and exposure to chemical substances is long and getting longer.
