This dataset contains the cumulative estimated health benefits due to reductions in fine particulates or particulate matter less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5) from 2023 to 2050. The Mayor’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) obtained the health events avoided values through collaboration with the NYC Health Department. The reductions in PM2.5 are the same reductions found in the "Forecasted Emissions and PM2.5 Reductions from City Actions" dataset. For any additional detail please refer to section 6 of the New York City Climate Budgeting Technical Appendices (https://www.nyc.gov/assets/omb/downloads/pdf/exec24-nyccbta.pdf). This dataset is going to be updated once a year during the Executive Budget.
