73.2 Materials and Methods
In the present study, the simulated surface concentrations of health related air pollutants (CO, O 3 , SO 2 and PM 2.5 ) for the year 2010 from twelve modelling groups from
Europe and two groups from North America participating in the AQMEII (Air Quality Model Evaluation International Initiative) exercise, serve as input to the Economic
Valuation of Air Pollution model (EVA: [1]), in order to calculate the impacts of these
pollutants on human health, using exposure response functions from WHO, and the
