Relative to the health impacts and costs of emissions associated with grid electricity and delivered fuels, and the benefits of energy conservation, energy efficiency and renewable energy. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill aims to protect public health and reduce healthcare costs in Massachusetts. It requires the Department of Public Health to create an assessment tool to quantify the health impacts and costs of emissions associated with grid electricity and delivered fuels, as well as the benefits of energy conservation, energy efficiency, and renewable energy. The tool will analyze factors such as particulate matter, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon, carbon dioxide, and mercury emissions, and their impacts on measures like premature death, cardiovascular events, chronic bronchitis, asthma, and lost school and work days. The department must update the tool every 3 years and ensure that any new or revised policies, regulations, or programs that impact polluting emissions explicitly factor in the tool's output.
