%X As part of a multidisciplinary study, the Federal Department for Transport, Communications and Energy commissioned four project teams to determine the effects of traffic-related air pollution on the health of the population and the resulting external health costs for the year 1993. The calculation of traffic-related health costs include: compilation of the epidemiological basis; determination of traffic-related air pollution using a refined mesh; and determination of traffic-related damage to health and assessment of costs. In 1993, air pollution due to motorized traffic involved external health costs amounting to more than SFr. 1600 million, of which 80% was produced by road traffic.<p />
