This analysis will be conducted following an integrated assessment (IA) approach, due to the fact that it focuses on holistic modelling per- spectives that are able to generate relevant information for environ- mental planning without the need to configure complex atmospheric dispersion models under long run times (Moussiopoulos et al., 2009; Oxley et al., 2013). Relying in IA allows quantifying the most relevant ef- fects that air quality has on human and environmental health for both past and future scenarios. For the concrete case of this study, this anal- ysis was made using the newly-embedded modules for the quantifica- tion of air quality impacts and costs of the Atmospheric Evaluation and Research Integrated system for Spain (AERIS), combining diagnos- tic (past years) and prognostic (future years) approaches (Vedrenne et al., 2014a). Besides assessing compliance with the European Limit Values (LVs) for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM10), the analysis focused on evaluating the consequences of air pol- lution such as damage on ecosystems and human health, as well as es- timating the economic benefits of policy-driven action.
