Today the main cause of premature deaths and cardio-respiratory diseases are due to long and short-term exposure to air pollution, especially in susceptible groups of the population.
Our PARTICULAS professionals have more than 16 years of experience in health risk assessment through toxicological and epidemiological studies in urban and industrial areas. The results of this risk assessment have been integrated into environmental management tools to determine health benefits each time any emission reduction measure is evaluated in Atmospheric Decontamination Plans and Environmental Impact Studies, such as the EPA’s BenMAP system. It should be noted that the BenMAP has already been adapted for Chile and allows us to develop the General Analysis of the Economic and Social Impact (AGIES in Spanish).
BenMAP is an Open-Source software used to estimate the benefits associated with the reduction of concentrations of atmospheric pollutants in the face of different emission scenarios, applied especially in the evaluation of Decontamination and Atmospheric Prevention Plans, but also in Studies and Environmental Declarations.
It is a quantitative tool that allows establishing health risk due to mortality and morbidity due to cardiovascular and respiratory problems (heart attacks, strokes, hospital admissions, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma attacks, days not worked) , worker productivity, school absence) and their economic costs.
