AirImpacts.org - Background information, Health and Economic Impacts of Air Pollution
About us

This website is the result of recommendations emanated by the International Expert Workshop on the Analysis of the Economic and Public Health Impacts of Air Pollution (Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, September 2001). Its participants recognised a significant need for increasing global awareness and research collaboration regarding the environmental health impacts of air pollution. 

The AirImpacts.org  website addresses this need serving as host and dissemination point for relevant and useful information to promote increased collaboration among researchers, and to facilitate information exchange between experts and policymakers.

  • The World Health Organization, Regional Office for Europe (WHO/Europe),
  • The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
