Greener trucking would benefit disadvantaged Californians more than greener buildings NatureComms
further compare health benefits allocation between the scenarios for the state and Los Angeles County. Inside Los Angeles County, truck electrification has higher benefits allocation around highways or traffic hubs like downtown Los Angeles, Glendale, and San Pedro Bay Ports, or downwind mountain foothills like Pasadena, Bradbury, and Citrus, where pollutants are easily trapped.
Total mitigation costs in 2018 dollars for each scenario were calculated from economy-wide annual net costs relative to the reference scenario by Aas et al.Dividing the total mitigation cost of each scenario by the projected population in 2050 , we estimate the implicit cost per life saved in each census tract. Figurecompares cumulative mitigation costs against cumulative population in 2050, with a valuation of statistical life of $9.70 million also plotted for comparison .
Our analysis is subject to several important caveats and limitations. First, we consider only a few decarbonization scenarios and stop short of the net-zero emissions goal that has been targeted by recent policies. In particular, the two scenarios assessed were designed to compare and contrast tradeoffs between scenarios meeting different outcomes for the utility gas system and therefore do not represent the air quality benefits of all possible measures.
, we may thus be underestimating the air quality benefits of the scenarios. Finally, our epidemiological analysis only takes into account the long-term effects of PM
