Abstract

"The eastern Inland Empire of Southern California has experienced dramatic growth of the logistics industry since 2000. This paper analyzes the air pollution implications of that expansion. It is found that truck traffic will generate significant air pollution, especially PM2.5. The estimated excess mortality associated is 32-64 cases per year, with a combined excess mortality and morbidity value of $247-$455 million per year. This represents 44%-81% of the estimated wages generated by industry growth and $5 million-$9 million per distribution facility. These estimates suggest that policies should be developed to internalize those costs." Copyright No Claim to Original U.S. Government Works.
