Introducing Health-Climate-Economics and Rapid Viability Test for Candidate Solutions as a Tool for Automated Healthcare Procurement and Evaluation
Summary
This paper introduces a health-climate-economics framework for evaluating healthcare procurement decisions that account for climate and health co-benefits. It is not related to microplastics.
The recognition climate change has an effect on health economics of products or service requires new procurement and evaluation models. Health climate economics provides one such model that also provides a rapid evaluation methodology for incumbent and candidate suppliers

Theoretical framework for assessing the economic and environmental impact of water pollution: A detailed study on sustainable development of India
This paper presents a framework for assessing the economic and environmental costs of water pollution, including the impact of emerging contaminants like microplastics. It argues that current pollution cleanup strategies often overlook long-term economic losses from contaminated water, including healthcare costs. The framework could help policymakers make better decisions about investing in water treatment to reduce human exposure to pollutants including microplastics.
