Abstract
The valuation approach adopted in this study is demonstrated in Figure 2.1 below. Ideally one would like to start with the basic relationship between the pollution sources and the environmental impacts (going from emissions to concentrations to impacts). Then one would go on to value the impacts associated with specific sources. In fact, at the national level, such an approach would be extremely time consuming. Instead, what has been done is to start with the spatial distribution of concentrations and value their impacts. At a later stage (in GARP II) the concentrations will be attributed to different sources.
