3.1 Introduction
This chapter provides a review, derived from the extended survey conducted within
the APPRAISAL project, of the integrated assessment methodologies used in different countries to design air quality plans and to estimate the effects of emission
abatement policy options on human health.
The final purpose of this review is to foster the dissemination of knowledge on
integrated assessment for air quality planning at regional and local scales, and to
