Premature deaths could rise by four to five times this number by 2050 without additional pollution controls. We site a model 500\u00a0MW coal-fired electricity generating unit at eight locations in India and examine the benefits and costs of retrofitting the plant with a flue-gas desulfurization unit to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions. We quantify the mortality benefits associated with the reduction in sulfates (fine particles) and value these benefits using estimates of the value per statistical life transferred to India from high income countries. The net benefits of scrubbing vary widely by location, reflecting differences in the size of the exposed population. They are highest at locations in the densely populated north of India, which are also among the poorest states in the country.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/bca.2018.27","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,27]],"date-time":"2018-12-27T02:47:56Z","timestamp":1545878876000},"page":"185-205","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Applying Benefit-Cost Analysis to Air Pollution Control in the Indian Power Sector"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Maureen L.","family":"Cropper","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarath","family":"Guttikunda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Puja","family":"Jawahar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zachary","family":"Lazri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kabir","family":"Malik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao-Peng","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinlu","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"S2194588818000271_r13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.atmosenv.2011.10.020"},{"key":"S2194588818000271_r11","unstructured":"CSTEP. 2018. \u201cBenefit Cost Analysis of Emission Standards for Coal-Based Thermal Power Plants in India.\u201d Bangalore, India."},{"key":"S2194588818000271_r35","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.287.9.1132"},{"key":"S2194588818000271_r32","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.atmosenv.2011.11.023"},{"key":"S2194588818000271_r30","volume-title":"Hidden Costs of Energy: Unpriced Consequences of Energy Production and Use","year":"2010"},{"key":"S2194588818000271_r28","unstructured":"MERC. 2009. \u201cMERC Order for RInfra-G for APR of FY 2009-10 and Determination of Tariff for FY 2010-11, Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission, Mumbai.\u201d Case No. 99 of 2009."},{"key":"S2194588818000271_r19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4209\/aaqr.2018.04.0134"},{"key":"S2194588818000271_r14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1257\/aer.100.3.837"},{"key":"S2194588818000271_r41","volume-title":"The Benefits and Costs of the Clean Air Act from 1990 to 2020","year":"2011"},{"key":"S2194588818000271_r7","volume-title":"Growth of Electricity Sector in India from 1947\u20132017","year":"2017"},{"key":"S2194588818000271_r5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1803222115"},{"key":"S2194588818000271_r4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/tnsci-2016-0005"},{"key":"S2194588818000271_r2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11166-006-9002-5"},{"key":"S2194588818000271_r1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/acs.est.5b01236"},{"key":"S2194588818000271_r39","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.atmosenv.2005.08.046"},{"key":"S2194588818000271_r8","volume-title":"Comparative Quantification of Health Risks: Global and Regional Burden of Disease Due to Selected Major Risk Factors","volume":"2","author":"Cohen","year":"2004"},{"key":"S2194588818000271_r43","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jval.2016.04.015"},{"key":"S2194588818000271_r20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/reep\/rem015"},{"key":"S2194588818000271_r23","article-title":"The Lancet Commission on Pollution and Health","volume":"391","author":"Landrigan","year":"2017","journal-title":"The Lancet"},{"key":"S2194588818000271_r33","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.envres.2018.03.001"},{"key":"S2194588818000271_r31","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Narain, Urvashi \u00a0and Chris Sall . 2016. \u201cMethodology for Valuing the Health Impacts of Air Pollution: Discussion of Challenges and Proposed Solutions.\u201d Washington, DC: World Bank.
