The National Research Council committee, convened for this purpose and chaired by Jared Cohon and vice-chaired by Maureen Cropper, produced the report Hidden Costs of Energy, which provides quantitative, qualitative, and in some cases monetized estimates of these external damages from the use of energy for electricity, transportation, heat, and infrastructure and security.

Financial costs are a monetized estimate value of health-services cost (31 ) and do not satisfy the definition of opportunity cost.
To put our monetized social cost (central estimate of $28.2B) in context with other analyses, a recent study evaluated the public health impacts associated with exposure to direct emissions of PM2.5 attributable to congested traffic conditions [ 50] and estimated a total social cost of $31B (in 2007$).
The SCC is "an estimate of the monetized damages associated with the increment increase in carbon emissions in a given year" (Interagency Working Group on Social Cost of Carbon 2013).
This change alone reduces the estimate of the undiscounted monetized impact of all global anthropogenic emissions by 66%.
