Summary:A methodology for the analysis of the costs and health-related benefits of photochemical smog control is presented. This methodology combines information on the cost of primary pollutant emission control, the effects of emission control on ambient concentrations of air pollutants, and the health effects of these air pollutants. The application of the methodology is illustrated for the control of ozone (O 3) and nitrogen dioxide (NOO 2) short-term concentrations in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
