In previous chapters, we discussed emissions relocated by international trade and estimated quantities of the relocated emissions.

Such negative impacts are costly to the local community and the economy as a whole. Chapter 4 aims to investigate in the monetary values of the health and social economic impacts associated with displaced emissions by trade.
