Estimation of mortality and economic burden attributable to ground-level O3 in Central Iran using BenMAP CE
This study highlights the urgent need for effective air quality management in Qom. Reducing emissions of O<sub>3</sub> precursors such as NOx and VOCs, especially during warm months, could yield considerable public health and economic benefits. Localized assessments using tools like BenMAP-CE can inform evidence-based policymaking and contribute to sustainable urban development.
