The Illness Cost of Air Pollution in Ontario 2005 edition

Forecast Software for Windows

To support this effort, the OMA has developed a free interactive software program to accompany its research. By using the software, a user can:

• Calculate increased future air pollution costs if nothing is done about it.
  
• See how a reduction in air pollution would save lives and save money.
  
• Break all of this information out by region.

The minimum hardware requirement needed to use this software is a computer with Windows 98/2000 or XP operating system.
