Grants to this Grantee
for the Global Center for Health Impacts of Air Quality and Climate Actions project
The Health Effects Institute is an independent research organization that provides high-quality, impartial science on the health effects of air pollution. We recommend renewing support for its work on health impacts related to air pollution in China, India, and Mexico. With research such as the Global Burden of Diseases report, the Institute would reach and educate civil society groups and policymakers in these countries about the health benefits of reducing transportation emissions through the adoption of enhanced ambient air quality standards, vehicle performance standards, and high-quality fuel standards.
for the Global Center for Health Impacts of Air Quality and Climate Actions project
The Health Effects Institute is an independent research organization that provides high-quality, impartial, and relevant science on the health effects of air pollution. We recommend renewing project support to the organization to contribute to our clean vehicles and fuels work in three key developing countries: Brazil, China, and Mexico. With their research and their Global Center for Health Impacts of Air Quality and Climate Actions, the Institute would reach and educate Hewlett grantees and policymakers in the region about the health benefits of reducing transportation emissions through vehicle performance standards and high quality fuel standards. The ultimate goals are the reductions of local air pollutants and toxins from vehicles and the improvement of air quality of main cities in Brazil, China, and Mexico.
