'''Bioher assessment''' about health impacts of small scale wood burning is closed.


'''Bioher''' is a research project coordinated by [[KTL|KTL]]. The duration is 2008-2011. Project includes five subprojects with 1) measurement of PM and greenhouse gas emissions, 2) chemical characterization and assessment of atmospheric thermal impact of emitted PM, 3) toxicological characterization of emitted PM, 4) assessment of exposure to and health effects of current residential wood combustion, 5) assessment of health risks. This assessment page includes scope, definition, and result of health  risk assessment of fine particles of four residential heating scenarios (more detailed later).

=== Purpose  ===


The purpose is to evaluate PM2.5 and GHG emissions of detached houses and small heating power plant, to assess exposure and health effects due to evaluated emissions and to define emission, heating and health effect costs. Assessment is going to compare four alternative ways to arrange decentralised energy production in communities with 2000 - 10000 inhabitants: light oil and pellets as fuel of detached houses and heavy oil and wood chips as fuel of small heating plants.  
The purpose of the assessment is to evaluate health impacts and overall societal costs of different scenarios for residential heating in Finland.  


Questions:  
More specifically:  


*What would be the health effects of PM2.5 emissions of small power plant and individual houses in small living area (2000- 10000 inh.)?  
*What would be the mortality impacts of PM<sub>2.5</sub> emissions and the related societal cost?
*What are GHG emissions of individual houses and small power plant and how emissions effect on CC?  
*What would be the greenhouse gas emissions and the related societal cost?
*What are the costs of different alternatives?  
*What are the optimal decisions on residential heating for the society when energy costs to consumers and societal costs related to greenhouse gas emissions and health impacts of PM<sub>2.5</sub> are taken into consideration?
*What is the optimal decision to produce energy and heat to houses?
*What are the optimal decisions on residential heating for a consumer (based on costs related to heat consumption), and are these in conflict with the optimal decisions for the society?

Bioher assessment about health impacts of small scale wood burning is closed.

Health and climate impacts of heat production in small municipalities (BIOHER)

Bioher is a research project coordinated by the National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL). The project runs from 2008 to 2011 and includes five workpackages: 1) measurement of PM and greenhouse gas emissions, 2) chemical characterization and assessment of atmospheric thermal impact of emitted PM, 3) toxicological characterization of emitted PM, 4) assessment of exposure to and health effects of current residential wood combustion, 5) assessment of health risks.
