    Abstract When conducted on a societal level, cost-benefit analysis (CBA) can indicate policies that best allocate scarce public resources. Done incompletely, CBA can produce spurious, biased results. To estimate the potential health benefits of EPA's recent Lead and Copper Drinking Water Rule Revision (LCRR), we used EPA's exposure, compliance, and effect coefficient estimates to monetize 16 of the health endpoints EPA has determined are causally related to lead exposure. In addition, we monetized one health endpoint that EPA has used elsewhere: preterm birth. We estimated that the total annual health benefits of the LCRR greatly exceed EPA's estimated annual costs: $9 billion vs $335 million (2016$). Our benefit estimates greatly exceed EPA's benefit estimates. There are also nonhealth benefits because lead generally contaminates drinking water through the corrosion of plumbing components that contain lead. The LCRR therefore has 2 components: reducing how corrosive the water is and limited replacement of lead pipes. Reducing corrosion damage to drinking water and wastewater infrastructure and residential appliances that use water yields significant annualized material benefits also: $2-8 billion (2016$). Effectively, the health benefits are free. Finally, while actual exposure data are limited, the available data on lead-contaminated drinking water exhibits known risk patterns, disproportionately burdening low-income and minority populations and women. This economic analysis demonstrates that to maximize national benefits and improve equity, the LCRR should be as rigorous as possible.

    Abstract Background: Redlining has been associated with worse health outcomes and various environmental disparities, separately, but little is known of the interaction between these two factors, if any. We aimed to estimate whether living in a historically-redlined area modifies the effects of exposures to ambient PM
    Methods: We merged 8,884,733 adult mortality records from thirteen state departments of public health with scanned and georeferenced Home Owners Loan Corporation (HOLC) maps from the University of Richmond, daily average PM
    Results: We found significant statistical interactions between living in a redlined area and exposures to both ambient PM
    Conclusions: Living in areas that were historically-redlined in the 1930's increases the effects of exposures to both PM
