At the same time, a toolkit is prepared so that similar analyses can be conducted in the future. The study is motivated by the need to better understand the extent of the health consequences of the levels of ambient air pollution in Slovakia (which is among the highest in Europe) and to evaluate different actions to improve air quality in terms of their benefits relative to their costs. In this way policy actions to address air pollution can be more cost effective. 650 4 Air Pollution 650 4 Air Quality and Clean Air 650 4 Brown Issues and Health 650 4 Emissions 650 4 Environment 650 4 Health Indicators 650 4 Health, Nutrition and Population 650 4 Particulate Matter 650 4 Pollution Management and Control 830 0 Other Environmental Study. 830 0 World Bank e-Library. 906 BOOK
