## Air Enforcement Cases Yield HumanHealth Benefits Valued Over  $4.6 Billion Annually

**Air Enforcement Cases Yield Human****Health Benefits Valued Over  $4.6 Billion Annually**

- 4

**Injunctive Relief**
- Top ten air cases obtained commitments for pollution controls at
- $2.1 billion

**Annual Estimate of Pollutant Reductions**
- Annual estimated pollutant reduction of
- 491 million pounds SOx and 137 million NOx  when all required pollution controls are completed.

**Annual Estimate of  Health Benefits**
- Annual estimated human health benefits valued at more than $4.6 billion

- This is the first time EPA is estimating health benefits from its enforcement cases.  The benefits are estimated using an EPA peer-reviewed model. The estimate is for ten air cases only and is based only on NOx and SOx pollutant reductions.  A portion of these benefits is expected to be realized immediately and to increase annually as the companies continue to install the pollution controls required in the judicial settlements.  The benefits are expected to reach their maximum annual amount at $4.6 billion in 2012, after which they will continue to accrue.  Thus, the $4.6 Billion is a very conservative estimate.  The health benefits of NOx and SOx reductions quantified in this estimate include reductions in premature mortality, chronic and acute bronchitis, myocardial infarctions, hospitalizations, respiratory symptoms, and/or work loss days.
