Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the risk of chronic mortality in monetary term from road transport using CVM. In this study, the value of mortality risk is defined as losing one year from life expectancy. Mortality risk due to air pollution is set to be linear with age. The value of the risk is estimated, although the sample size was limited. The results indicate the importance of carefully setting the lifespan in survey design.
