Summary/Abstract: The objective of this work is to study the links and the effects of pollutants mainly from road transport on health, from an economic point of view. We will adopt an econometric approach inspired by ARDL (Autoregressive Distributed Lag) models. These models allow us to deal with the interactions between three spheres (transport, environment, and health) and the process of the mechanisms of the short and long-run effects. Our results show that the pollutants (NOX, NMVOC, PM10, SO2 and CH4) have statistically significant effects on life expectancy in the short-run as well as in the long-run, and that PM10 is the most dangerous for health in France.
