Abstract
Methods for evaluating carbon monoxide standards are described and critiqued, with a focus on impacts on cardiac patients’ health. Willingness to pay for health increments is evaluated as a source of information in cost-benefit analyses. A multiattribute utility model is presented for choosing among standards.
