Abstract

A health impact assessment (HIA) of PM10 and elemental carbon (EC) was performed for the period 1985e2008 in the city of Rotterdam. The spatial distribution of the concentrationswasmodeled by the URBIS model. The modeling results for 2008 were validated by PM10 and EC measurements at various locations in Rotterdam. This paper describes the HIA related to improved air quality in the period 1985e2008: at urban background locations 18 mgm-3 PM10 and 2 mgm-3 EC. The gain in life years saved due to long-termexposure to PM10 and EC in this period was, respectively 13 and 12 month per person. The similar health impacts for PM10 and EC suggests that reduction of combustion aerosolwas important for the reduction in health impact of PM10.
