TL;DR: This paper examined the EPA's decision to cancel or continue the registrations of cancer-causing pesticides that went through the special review process between 1975 and 1989, and found that the EPA indeed balanced risks against benefits in regulating pesticides: risks to human health or the environment increased the likelihood that a particular pesticide use was canceled by the EPA; at the same time, the larger the benefits associated with a particular use, the lower was the likelihood of cancellation.

TL;DR: The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuriaes, and Risk Factors Study 2019 showed that pollution remains responsible for approximately 9 million deaths per year, corresponding to one in six deaths worldwide as mentioned in this paper .

TL;DR: In this article, a bivariate probit model was used to explain land clearing and the siting of protected areas in North Thailand in 1986, showing that protected areas did not reduce the likelihood of forest clearing; however, wildlife sanctuaries may have reduced the probability of deforestation.

TL;DR: Two models of investment in health are presented which explicitly recognize the random nature of illness and death and how exposure to pollution should vary with age and how workers should respond to information about occupational dangers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimated the economic impact of air pollution as the cost of lost output due to premature deaths and morbidity attributable to air pollution for every state of India, using the cost-of-illness method.
