<abstract>Environmental decision-support tools often predicts a multitude of different human health effects due to environmental stressors. The accounting and aggreating of these morbidity and mortality outcomes is key to support decision making and can be accomplished by different methods that we call human health metrics. This article attempts to answer two questions: Does it matter which metric is chosen? and What are the relevant characteristics of these metrics in environmental applications?</abstract>
