The first team, from the Southern Cross Institute for Health Research (Morgan and Jalaludin, 2001), investigated the physical health impacts of air pollution. The team reviewed a large range of international and Australian studies that had applicability to the GMR airshed. From this review, Morgan and Jalaludin (2001) recommended exposure- response estimates for the common air pollutants7 and air toxics. A second team of consultants, the Centre for International Economics (CIE, 2001), recommended robust economic valuation methodologies and reviewed available literature on benchmark estimates for air pollution health costs. The results of both of these consultancies are reported in subsequent.
