From page 20... ...
EPA has been required to assess and monetize the health benefits of its major regulations in recent years and utilizes air quality analysis as part of this process. With some exceptions, the impacts of emissions standards on employment, safety, noise, and energy are dealt with qualitatively or not at all.
