`rfasst` reports a consistent range of adverse health and agricultural effects attributable to air pollution for any scenario run by the Global Change Analysis Model ([GCAM](http://www.globalchange.umd.edu/gcam/)), by replicating the calculations of the air quality reduced-form model [TM5-FASST]( https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/publication/tm5-fasst-global-atmospheric-source-receptor-model-rapid-impact-analysis-emission-changes-air).

The package consists of a set of functions divided in four different modules:
- Module 1. Emissions re-scaling: Process emissions by GCAM-region and re-scale them to TM5-FASST regions, and make some additional pollutant-related adjustments. More details in the [Module1 emissions](https://jgcri.github.io/rfasst/articles/Module1_emissions.html) page.
- Module 2. Concentration: Estimate fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone (O3) concentration levels (measured by different indicators) for each region. More details in the [Module2 concentration](https://jgcri.github.io/rfasst/articles/Module2_concentration.html) page.
- Module 3. Health: Report adverse health effects attributable to exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone (O3; M6M). More details in the [Module3 health](https://jgcri.github.io/rfasst/articles/Module3_health.html) page.
- Module 4. Agriculture: Estimate adverse agricultural impacts associated to ozone exposure, including relative yield losses (RYLs) and production and revenue losses. More details in the [Module4 agriculture](https://jgcri.github.io/rfasst/articles/Module4_agriculture.html) page.
In addition, the package includes some default input files (.Rda), that are read by the different functions. These can be changed by the user. Some of these constants include:
- GCAM crop categories to be included in the analysis
- Shares to allocate emissions between Russia Eastern (RUE) and Russia Western (RUS)
- Coefficients and/or counterfactual values for exposure-response functions applied to estimate adverse health and agricultural impacts.
- Baseline moratlity rates.
- Median values for the health impact economic assessment (Value of Statistical Life)
- Other
