See edits/corrections. The breakdown starts on page 91. The effects of air pollution on lungs is discussed on page 85. The breakdown pegs the 'best' estimate for health costs from air pollution at $187 billion per year.
Interestingly, the impact on Appalachia, $75 billion per year, is substantially more than the GDP of West Virginia ($57 billion per year). The economic return of coal mining in Appalachia is very probably net negative.
