This paper reports on research which has estimated valuations of changes in traffic related noise levels
and air quality and which contributes to the body of knowledge and to methodology in this area.
There are several novel aspects of this research. Firstly, there have been relatively few stated
preference studies of the monetary valuations of traffic related noise and air quality. A feature of this
analysis is the examination of variations in values according to the size and sign of the environmental
change, the currently experienced level of the attribute and various socio-economic factors. Secondly,
the important issue of presentation is addressed, with two different methods used in the valuation of
air quality and links made between valuations and physical measures. Thirdly, the results from stated
preference and the contingent valuation method are compared. Finally, we bring together evidence
from other studies and compare them with the findings obtained here.
