AIR QUALITY
Despite significant progress of over the last three decades, air quality remains a significant environmental problem in the U.S. and other developed countries. With low-cost emission reductions strategies already in place and epidemiological evidence showing a greater threat from air pollutants than previously recognized, regulators are struggling to find the tools to make continued improvements in air quality.
Current research at Resources for the Future assesses the costs and benefits of air quality regulations and examines the potential for innovative regulatory approaches, like incentive-based mechanisms, to achieve reductions fairly and efficiently. Increasingly RFF researchers are turning their attention to policy in developing countries, where urban air quality often poses a serious health threat.
