It's not even what was actually spent, but what the projected economic cost was due to externalities such as excess mortality from air pollution.
So, if someone from the US dies due to air pollution, that's 6.1 million dollars down the drain. The report puts that rate at 4.9 deaths per thousand, which is absurdly high in my estimation.
