Research on Value Assessment and Compensation for Health Hazards of Urban Air Pollution-A Case Study of Urumqi

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Projects	Contents
Compensation subject	1. National and local governments; 2. Existing enterprises discharging excessive pollutants in fields such as building materials, thermal power, metallurgy and coal mining and so on in Urumqi; 3. Motor vehicle owners
Compensation object	Residents suffering some diseases and health losses due to air pollution
Compensation standards	It is recommended that the annual financing volume should not be lower than 63.155 million yuan.
Compensation modes	1. Funds can be raised by levying environment health protection taxes and governments' allocating special funds. 2. For operation and management, environment health protection funds are set from the medical healthcare insurance funds to provide subsidies to patients suffering air pollution-related diseases. 3. The existing medical reimbursement procedure is taken as a reference in the allocation of funds.
