The present study presents a framework to include environmental externalities into a system of national accounts. The paper develops estimates of air pollution damages for each industry in the United States. The first section proposes a framework for national economic accounting that values pollution using marginal damages. An integrated-assessment model (the Air Pollution Emission Experiments ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a class of mutagenic environmental contaminants, insert toxicity through both metabolic activation and light irradiation. Pyrene, one of the most widely studied PAHs, along with its mono-substituted derivatives, 1-amino, 1-bromo, 1-hydroxy, and 1-nitropyrene, were chosen to study the effect of substituents on their phototoxicity, DNA damage and repair. B...
