1 Future work 2005 To test RAINS-NL and apply to CAFE-Baseline Health Impact Module: finalize and link to RAINS-NL (with Institute for Environmental Studies (VUA-IvM) Finalize feasibility study for the design of a RAINS-NL cost effectiveness module (with Institute for Environmental Studies, VUA-IvM 2005/2006 Apply RAINS-NL in support of NEC review/revision Review/revision UNECE-CLRTAP Gothenburg protocol Design Post-module for cost-effectiveness analysis (RAINS-Europa results are used in an ex-post CBA) GAINS-NL; Link up with progress in the development and application of GAINS- Europe (Options for scenario analysis of Dutch Energy structure) Implement progress impact assessment methodologies under CLRTAP/EC.

5 Goals of HIA morbidity study To build a (full) HIA morbidity/daly tool for PM and ozone To use this tool in a feasibility study using Dutch data (and compare it with HIA on mortality/daly) To study the potential for a more local and regional (pan- European) HIA for morbidity (to serve RIVM, RAINS, and CAFE) # $ %&'(!
