The EPA has a model for this, called BENMAP-CE, where you can calculate economic benefits of reducing different kinds of air pollution, like you mention. But it's complicated! I haven't been trained on it. I'm sure, if you search the research behind it, that there are studies that will discuss what you're looking for.
