Key parameters for conducting a health impact analysis in BenMAP–CE.

	Air quality	Population	Baseline Rate of Death and Disease	β Coefficient	Economic values
Input parameter					$
Default parameters	Year 2000–2013 PM2.5 and ozone monitoring data for the contiguous U.S. Voronoi Neighborhood Average interpolates to user-specified grid Grids defined for common air pollution models	U.S. population stratified by sex/age/race/ethnicity Population projected from 2000 to 2050 in 1-year increments Aggregated from census blocks to 12 km grid cells	Cause-specific county-level death rates projected from 2000 to 2060 in 5-year increments Hospital and emergency department visits for 2013 at county and state-level	Over 100 PM2.5 and ozone health impact functions (β) for mortality, hospital admission, emergency department, exacerbated asthma, acute respiratory symptoms, school/work loss days	# of cost-of-illness (COI) and willingness-to-pay (WTP) studies for each health endpoint quantified by health impact functions
Updating parameters	Import .csv or .xlsx file specifying air quality modeling or monitoring data. As needed, import shapefile boundary defining location of air quality impacts	Import .csv or .xlsx file specifying sex/age/race/ethnicity stratified population counts assigned to grid	Import .csv or .xlsx file specifying age/race/ethnicity stratified baseline incidence rate assigned to each grid cell	Import .csv or .xlsx file specifying health impact function(s), including health endpoint, functional form, effect coefficient, applicable age/sex/race/ethnicity	Import .csv or .xlsx file specifying COI or WTP function(s), including health endpoint, unit value
