A.P. Kireyenko, G.D. Rusetskaya, O.I. Gorbunova
Keywords: Baikal region, environment pollution, people health, assessments, compensation, mechanism

Abstract

The paper assesses the ecological situation in the Baikal region and how it affects the people health. We propose a technique for assessing the damage to health; application of tax tools to compensate damages; and a new technique for calculation of individual income taxes reflecting the level of pollution of territories where people reside.
