Abstract

In this chapter, we investigate how air pollution affects the transaction prices of high-rise housing units in Hong Kong. With increased human and industrial activities, more air pollution such as a high concentration of suspended particulates or carbon monoxide is produced. Air pollution is known to cause health problems (C.A. Pope, 2000). Dockery et al. (1993) found that air pollution was positively associated with death from lung cancer and cardiopulmonary disease.
