The team will develop a series of location-specific, macro-level indicators of changes to air quality as a result of adoption of the proposed technologies. Economic quantification of the effects of the changes to air quality will be conducted using region-specific indicators. The variables in this section will be populated using secondary regional data as well as primary data from experimental sites based on coordination with the work being done for the life cycle analysis.
