Premise: We estimate that reductions in exposure to fine PM and ozone due to the Clear Skies Act will result in over 6,000 fewer deaths in 2010 and nearly 12,000 fewer deaths in 2020, as well as nearly 4,000 fewer cases of chronic bronchitis in 2010 and over 7,000 fewer cases in 2020.

Hypothesis: The Clear Skies Act may be carry high upfront costs, but the savings in health outcomes more than make up for it.
Relation: neutral
