Massachusetts S515 mandates the creation of an assessment tool to quantify health impacts and costs of energy emissions and benefits of conservation.

Massachusetts S515 requires the Department of Public Health to develop an assessment tool to measure health impacts and costs from emissions like particulate matter, sulfur oxides, and nitrogen oxides. The tool will also evaluate the benefits of energy conservation, efficiency, and renewable energy. It will analyze health impacts on specific populations, including environmental justice communities, and consider factors like premature death, cardiovascular events, and respiratory issues.
