The CAFE baseline scenarios:

Air quality and impacts

Air quality impactsanalyzed for the CAFE baseline scenario

Health:

• Loss in life expectancy attributable to PM2.5

• Premature deaths attributable to ozone

Vegetation:

• Ozone damage to forests (AOT40)

• Excess acid deposition to forests

• Excess acid deposition to semi-natural ecosystems

• Excess acid deposition to lakes

• Excess nitrogen deposition

All impacts shown for “no further climate measures” scenario, average results of 1997, 1999, 2000 & 2003 meteorological conditions

Percent of ecosystems area with nitrogen deposition above critical loads for eutrophication

Conclusions

• With decreasing pollution, also impacts are expected to decline in the future.

• However, problems will not be entirely resolved:

– PM remains serious (~5 months life expectancy loss in 2020)

– Ozone:

• Remains a significant cause for premature deaths (Several 1000 cases in 2020)

• Vegetation damage: Wide-spread violations of AOT40 critical level will prevail

– Acidification: Will not disappear, mainly due to NH3

– Eutrophication remains unresolved
