Scenario number | Scenario description | Scenario name | PM2.5 yearly level reduction |
---|---|---|---|
S1 | Spatially homogeneous target value in the whole area | “WHO guideline” | Down to WHO yearly guideline (10 µg/m3 at the time of this publication) |
S2 | “No anthropogenic PM2.5 emissions” | Down to lowest nation-wide levels (4.9 µg/m3)a | |
S3 | “Quiet neighborhood” | Down to lowest study area district levels (10th percentile of exposure)b | |
S4 | Homogeneous PM2.5 decreases in the whole area | “-1 µg/m3” | Baselinec -1 µg/m3 |
S5 | “-2 µg/m3” | Baselinec -2 µg/m3 | |
S6 | Targeted reduction in PM2.5-related mortality in the whole aread | “-1/3 of mortality” | Equivalent to decreasing homogeneously and sufficiently the baselinec exposure to achieve the indicated health objectivee |
S7 | “-1/2 of mortality” | ||
S8 | “-2/3 of mortality” | ||
S9 | 2008/50/EU Directivef “2020 target” | In the whole study area” | Baselinec -15% |
S10 | Restricted to PM2.5 exposure hotspots” | Baselinec -15%, only if baseline ≥ 90th centile of PM2.5 levelsg |
