Abstract:
The objective of this study is to evaluate the monetary value of health benefits following reductions in century poison dioxin-like compounds for people aged 0-14 years old, 15-64 years old, and persons 65 years or over in Taiwan. The benefit per ton (BPT) method is employed to estimate the monetary value of the benefits of such a reduction from 2021 to 2070 for different age groups in different regions. The results indicate a BPT of US$837,915 per gram of dioxin each year. The results further show that for Taiwan as a whole, the net BPT per gram of dioxin reduction from 2021 to 2025 is US$704 for children, US$42,761 for working-age adults, US$34,817 for older adults, and US$78,282 overall. Reductions in dioxin-like compounds from 2051-2070 will generate 83.93% of the net BPT for the entire country. This is approximately five times the net BPT of emissions reduction from 2021 to 2025. The monetary benefits evaluated in this study indicate that the prevention of health losses caused by the spread and diffusion of dioxin-like compounds have increased significantly. This implies that action must be taken now, along with continued vigilance, to address emission reductions.
摘要:
这项研究的目的是评估0-14岁人群减少世纪毒物二恶英类化合物后健康益处的货币价值,15-64岁,和65岁或以上的人在台湾。每吨收益(BPT)方法用于估算2021年至2070年不同地区不同年龄段的收益减少的货币价值。结果表明,每年每克二恶英的BPT为837,915美元。结果进一步表明,对整个台湾来说,从2021年到2025年,儿童每克二恶英减少的净BPT为704美元,42,761美元,用于工作年龄的成年人,老年人34,817美元,和78,282美元。从2051-2070年减少二恶英类化合物将产生整个国家净BPT的83.93%。这大约是2021年至2025年减排净BPT的五倍。这项研究评估的货币利益表明,预防二恶英类化合物的传播和扩散引起的健康损失已大大增加。这意味着现在必须采取行动,伴随着持续的警惕,解决减排问题。
