A Method for Quantifying the Acute Health Impacts of Residential Non-Biological Exposure Via Inhalation
- Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. (LBNL), Berkeley, CA (United States)
The inability to monetize the health costs of acute exposures in homes and the benefits of various control options is a barrier to justifying policies and approaches that can reduce exposure and improve health.We synthesized relationships between short-term outdoor concentration changes and health outcomes to estimate the health impacts of short-term in-home exposures. Damage and cost impacts of specific health outcomes were taken from the literature. We assessed the impact of vented and non-vented residential natural gas cooking burners on Southern California occupants for two pollutants (NO2 and CO).
