Abstract
Air pollution has huge economic consequences for society, including reduced work hours, increased healthcare costs, and lost household income. Quantifying the environmental and health costs of air pollution is conducive to improve the quality and efficiency of environmental regulations and understanding the real costs of economic development. This chapter provides an overview of all the costs associated with air pollution, the pros and cons of the traditional and new methods of air pollution cost accounting, and valuable insights into how future air pollution-related cost accounting should be. Another objective of this chapter is to carry out the economic valuation of air pollution. For this reason, environmental economic valuation and valuation methods are considered within the theoretical framework. It is proposed to carry out a public policy strategy to internalize the costs of pollution.
