Dieser Abschlussbericht des Forschungsvorhabens "Quantifizierung der Krankheitslast verursacht durch Ozon-⁠Exposition⁠ in Deutschland für die Jahre 2007-2016" dokumentiert das Projektziel, die verwendeten Methoden und dessen Ergebnisse. Beschrieben werden die gesundheitlichen Effekte in der deutschen Bevölkerung durch die Langzeit-Exposition gegenüber Ozon, die mittels der Environmental Burden of Disease-Methode in Form umweltbedingter Krankheitslasten für die Jahre 2007 - 2016 quantifiziert wurden. Besonderes Augenmerk galt dabei der Schätzung der Krankheitslast durch Ozon basierend auf Effektschätzern, die für Feinstaub (⁠PM2,5⁠) und Stickstoffdioxid (NO2) adjustiert wurden. Die Publikation richtet sich an Fachexpert*innen im Bereich Umwelt, Gesundheit / Public Health, an Medienvertreter*innen entsprechender fachlicher Ausrichtung sowie an politisch Verantwortliche im Bereich Luftreinhaltung und Gesundheitsschutz.

"Ben Ansell, one of the world's leading experts on the dilemmas facing modern democracies, vividly illustrates how our collective goals-- democracy, equality, solidarity, security, and prosperity-- are undermined by political traps and why today's political landscape is so tumultuous. We want equality, but we are loathe to give away our own wealth. We want solidarity but we are much better at receiving it than offering it. We want security but not if it constrains our freedom. And we want to end the climate crisis but we also want a prosperous economy. In every case, we want a collective goal, but are undermined by our individual actions. Our aims are altruistic, our actions governed by self-interest. Ansell then comes full circle and through brilliant storytelling and pathbreaking research vividly illustrates how we maneuver through the traps of the messy, complicated world of politics that block common sense solutions to the just, equitable, prosperous, and environmentally sane society we all want."
