Health and economic cost estimates of short-term total and wildfire PM2.5 exposure on work loss: using the consecutive California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) data 2015–2018 by Michael Jerrett, Yu Yu, Ying-Ying Meng, Diane Garcia-Gonzales, Mohammad Z Al-Hamdan, Miriam E Marlier, Joseph L Wilkins, Ninez Ponce

“…We calculated and applied the coefficient for the association between daily PM2.5 exposure and work loss from regression analyses to the Environmental Benefits Mapping and Analysis Program—Community Edition (BenMAP-CE) platform to assess the health and economic impacts of PM2.5 exposure on work loss due to sickness.Results We observed that each 1 µg/m3 increase in daily total PM2.5 exposure will lead to about 1 million days of work loss per year ranging from 1.1 to 1.6 million person-days, and the related economic loss was $310–390 million. …”
