MARRERO MARRERO, Mercedes; PETERSSON ROLDAN, Maritza; GUTIERREZ LOZA, Vladimir and AROZARENA FUNDORA, Rodolfo. Measuring the health costs attributable to changes in the environmental quality. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2012, vol.34, n.6, pp. 711-719. ISSN 1684-1824.
Determining the health costs attributable to changes in the environmental quality is an important aspect to consider in studies linking health and environment. We considered the proposal of a procedure to measure the economical effect of the pollution impact on human health in the conditions of Cuba, in which the integration of economic, social and environmental factors allow taking decisions and the efficient resources usage.
Keywords : health costs; environmental quality; pollutio.
