Health-related social costs of air pollution due to residential heating and cooking in the EU27 and

The more people live in the vicinity of the emission source, the higher the damage in terms of premature death and diseases. [...] These prices are used in Chapter 2 to estimate the total health-related social costs of outdoor air pollution due to domestic heating and cooking for the EU27+UK and the individual countries. [...] 2.1 Methodology In order to determine the total health-related social costs of outdoor air pollution, we multiply the environmental prices (euro/ton emitted substance, see Paragraph 1.5 and Annex A) with the corresponding amount of total air pollution emissions for the EU27+UK as a whole and the individual countries. [...] In this context, it is also relevant in this study to compare the health-related costs of direct emissions due to heating and cooking in the residential sector with the health-related costs of all non-commercial transport activities by households. [...] Figure 11 shows that for the majority of EU27+UK countries (18 out of 28), health-related social costs due to heating in the residential sector are higher than the costs due to transport in the residential sector.
