The Pollution–Productivity Curve: Non-linear effects and adaptation in high-pollution environments 1: University of California, Davis; 2: Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet This paper provides novel evidence that workers in a high particulate matter air pollution setting partially adapt to chronic exposure, but that adaptation does not offset cumulative harm. Using ball-by-ball data from professional cricket in India, we find that a 10 microgram per cubic meter increase in same-day PM2.5 reduces performance by about 1 percent. Effects are non-linear, with the largest marginal damages above approximately 50 microgram per cubic meter. Workers with the highest past exposure are roughly 40 percent less sensitive to acute shocks than those with median exposure histories, consistent with adaptation. Nevertheless, chronic exposure degrades performance by more than this adaptation offsets. | |
