“…The cost for hospital admissions (HA-COPD, HA-CD and HA-RD) was estimated using CoI approach (Patankar andTrivedi, 2011, Srivastava andKumar, 2002) and cost of death from outdoor air pollution per person (VSL) was estimated using WTP approach (ORCD, 2014). With the increasing cost of treatment, the monetary burden of health impacts is also increasing every year.…”

“…With the increasing cost of treatment, the monetary burden of health impacts is also increasing every year. That's why to estimate the trends in monetary burden, per year 10% increase in the price of medicines and hospital admission charges are considered (Patankar and Trivedi, 2011;ORCD, 2014) (Table 2).

Objectives of the present study are to provide quantitative estimations of air pollution health impacts and monetary burden on people living in Agra city, the fourth most populated city in Uttar Pradesh, India. To estimate the direct health impacts of air pollution in Agra city during year 2002 to 2014, 'Risk of Mortality/Morbidity due to Air Pollution' model was used which is adopted from air quality health impact assessment software, developed by world health organization (WHO). Concentrations of NO 2 , SO 2 and PM 10 have been used to assess human health impacts in terms of attributable proportion of the health outcome as-annual number of excess cases of total mortality, cardiovascular mortality, respiratory mortality, hospital admission chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hospital admission respiratory disease and hospital admission cardiovascular disease and it was observed that attributable number of cases were 1325, 908, 155, 138, 1230 and 348 respectively in year 2002. However, after thirteen years these figures increased to 1607, 1095, 189, 167, 1568 and 394 respectively. From these results, it was observed that from 2002 to 2014, the attributable number of cases increased almost by 13.43 to 27.52%. As a result, the monetary cost burden due to air pollution related health effects also increased very highly; it was 67.99 million US$ in 2002, which transformed into 254.52 million US$ in 2014. In future, if air quality continues to follow current pollutant concentration trend, the monetary cost burden will reach a level of US$ 570.12 million in year 2020, which is not only a thoughtful matter but also a threatful matter and it signifies the importance of rectification measures for air quality in Agra city.

“…With urban expansion, the economic cost of congestion and pollution, which is already high given the size of economies, will further increase and have a greater adverse impact on local economy. Using the concentrationeresponse coefficients for cough, breathlessness, wheezing and cold, and illnesses such as allergic rhinitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Patankar and Trivedi (2011) estimate that the total monetary burden, including personal burden, government expenditure and societal cost for the city of Mumbai in India, is US$113.08 million for a 50-mg/m 3 increase in PM 10 and US$ 218.10 million for a 50-mg/m 3 increase in NO 2 . By adopting some of the suggested policy tools such as high employment and residential density development, cities can effectively contain the ongoing rapid urban expansion and at the same time achieve air quality improvement benefit.…”

“…So, traffic emissions are now the major constituent of local air pollution as compared to the previous scenario (two decades ago) when industrial emissions were dominating. Due to high density of vehicles of various types at traffic junctions, vehicular pollution is a prominent problem in the terms of health caused by air pollution (Patankar and Trivedi, 2011;. The emitted pollutions in atmosphere due to traffic, affect the air quality adversely.…”

Due to increasing population and rising income level, most of the metropolitan cities in the world are facing problems of congestion and pollution. It is high time proper steps were taken to prevent the unbearable congestion and pollution that might occur in the near future. Before taking the mitigation measures, it is important to find out or estimate the level of congestion and pollution. Hence, the study has been conducted to assess the present and future pollution and congestion level for a highly congested Worli Road Network, Mumbai. Level of service analysis has been done for all the roads in the network to find out the congestion level. The impact of the traffic was quantified in terms of Volume/Capacity (V/C) ratio, for the coming 20 years in 10-year intervals. The years in which any road was reaching its theoretical capacity was also identified. USEPA AERMOD has been used with proper evaluation of the model results to model the concentration of air pollutants for present and future scenario. Through the predicted results of congestion and air pollution in future, some mitigation measures are suggested.
