Valuing health effects from the industrial air pollution in rural Tianjin,China

Abstract： High concentrations of air pollutants such as total suspended particulates(TSP) and sulfur dioxide(SO2 ) have serious impacts on nearby populations. In this paper, a survey of rural Tianjin residents' willingness-to-pay for health improvement was reported on, and the MBDC( multiple bounded discrete choice) model was adopted to study the respondents' willingness-to-pay to prevent respiratory illnesses.The results showed that the willingness-to-pay for health improvement was affected by respondents' health condition, work situation and environmental awareness, but not by personal habits, such as smoking. If person's willingness-to-pay to avoid respiratory diseases can be considered equal to the cost to personal health caused by air pollution, the total cost will reach 538 x 106 RMB Yuan( RMB, equal to 65million USD) per year. 作 者： YANG Zhi-feng    XU Lin-Yu   作者单位： State Key Joint Laboratory of Environmental Simulation and Pollution Control, Institute of Environmental Sciences, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China  期 刊： 环境科学学报(英文版)  ISTICSCI   Journal： JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES  年，卷(期)： 2004, 16(1)  分类号： X51 X820  Keywords： health loss    MBDC    willingness-to-pay    TVIE    Tianjin City
