Overview
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.
