Fig. 3: The difference between health cost valuations based on emission sources vs. the affected regions.
From: Location-specific co-benefits of carbon emissions reduction from coal-fired power plants in China
a Value of health co-benefit from reducing one ton CO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants located in each province; b Per capita health loss suffered by each province due to air pollution caused by all coal plants in China in 2017; c total value of health loss caused by coal plants within each province; d total value of health loss suffered by each province due to air pollution caused by all coal plants in China in 2017. Provinces connected by blue lines have power plants that are relatively more damaging, but these provinces suffer relatively less; provinces connected by red lines have relatively less damaging power plants, but these provinces suffer more from coal-fired power generation.
