We thank Seager and Brown (1) for their comments. We agree that “LCA can be an objective, scientific approach to testing certain hypotheses ...,” that “The greatest value in [our article] ... is not conclusions, per se, but the methodology employed” and that the value of abating air pollutants ...”vary widely”. In particular, our valuation of air pollutants displays a wide range of values (2). The other points require discussion.
