Pollution Abatement Under Oligopoly With Free-Entry: Theory And Evidence
This research examines the role of the abatement subsidy as a potential environmental policy option under various scenarios. This is achieved through a combination of theoretical and empirical analyses. The main motivation for this work stems from the existing literature on the abatement subsidy …

Market and bargaining approaches to nonpoint source pollution abatement problems
… with specific reference to nonpoint source pollution from agricultural land. The case when polluters contribute recursively rather than additively to environmental damages is investigated. While an optimal solution is theoretically possible, there exist opportunities for strategic behavior. …

A study of carbonyl formation within an innovative indoor air pollution abatement system
… pre-prototype unit of an innovative indoor air pollution abatement system which used catalytic ozonation as a mechanism for oxidation and removal of organic contaminants. The system was evaluated for carbonyl production when the system was challenged with chemicals used to simulate polluted …

Developing ozone dispersion and reaction models and conducting a thermodynamic study for safety evaluations of an indoor air pollution abatement pilot plant
A Dispersion model for ozone inside the rectangular duct of an indoor air quality pilot plant was simulated. Using this the concentration profiles of ozone at several points downstream of ozone insertion were simulated and they matched well with experimental results. Recommendations for future work …

The role of the environmental manager in the Air Force
… in l970 to formulate policy to guide it in its pollution abatement program. In its search for methods to control Air Force caused pollution, the position of Pollution Abatement Specialist evolved. It would seem that the success or failure of the Air Force in its stated policy would be directly …

The Effect of Environmental Control Costs on u.s. Trade
… has been speculation regarding the impact of pollution abatement expenditures on the competitiveness of the United States in international trade. There have been several attempts to measure the magnitude of the effect; however, the initial attempts to analyze the problem were hampered by the …

A tale of two cities : the regulation of particulate air pollution in Mexico City and Los Angeles
… and Los Angeles have employed very similar air pollution abatement programs yet their results have been disparate. Particulate and ozone pollution levels have been significantly reduced in Los Angeles but not in Mexico City. The reasons for this difference in effectiveness are specific to each …

A comparative study of the environmental laws of India and the UK with special reference to their enforcement
… laws, including adopting a revised policy on pollution prevention, developing an integrated approach to pollution abatement, developing a policy on prosecution and enforcement, restructuring various environmental laws to meet treaty obligations, introducing incentive based instruments for …

Pollution aspects derived from non-point sources
… was conducted for the purposes of discerning pollution potential for specifically defined types of storm runoff and for determination of whether non-point sources of pollution are great enough to be included in water pollution abatement programs. The Town of Blacksburg, Virginia, was the area …

An analysis of the management and economics of salmon aquaculture
… production function approach is used to estimate pollution abatement costs for the salmon aquaculture industry. Results reveal that pollution abatement costs vary among observations and models. On average, pollution abatement cost is estimated at 3.5% in terms of total farmed salmon production, …

Three essays on environmental issues associated with broiler production in Louisiana
… major source of surface as well as ground water pollution. Nonpoint source pollution from broiler litter applied on land remains a major concern in Louisiana and elsewhere in Southeastern USA. This study examines alternative approaches to reduce pollution originating from broiler production. …

Essays on Public Good Contribution
… and chapter III with negative externality in the pollution abatement context. Chapter IV contains an empirical analysis of charitable donations by the elderly. Chapter II models the so-called ``corporate challenge gift'' used in real world fund-raising, and adopts the concept to voluntary …

Empirical essays on local pollution and environmental policies
Pollution externalities have received great attention in environmental economics and, with mitigation policies on local pollutants becoming increasingly stringent in recent years, this topic will become even more prevalent in the future. Hence, it is of crucial importance to quantify the damages …

Which Green Policy?: an analysis of the relationship between state environmental policy and state economic growth
… to the results of the model estimations. When pollution abatement compliance costs of business and industry are used as the measure of environmental policy, state economies appear to suffer a detrimental impact as a result of more stringent environmental policies. When state spending on …

Environmental justice education and atmospheric particulate analysis in urban environmental health policy development : indoor airborne particulate concentrations in preschools of asthmatic children in Newark
… to the adverse health effects of particulate air pollution. This study analyzes the community locations and evaluates literature and other available air pollution data for the target communities in the city of Newark. The study focuses on asthma or reactive airway diseases as a target health risk. …

An integrated assessment of air pollutant abatement opportunities in a computable general equilibrium framework
Air pollution and anthropogenic greenhouse gas emission reduction policies are desirable to reduce smog, tropospheric concentrations of ozone precursors, acid rain, and other adverse effects on human health, the environment, and the economy. While reduction of both air pollution and greenhouse gas …

Optimal Land Use for Watershed Management—a Case Study in the Feitsui Watershed
… the watershed management policy targets only pollution abatement, therefore constraining agricultural and other economic development. These regulatory measures are likely to hamper the local economy and worsen the living situation for farmers. In this paper, I argue that good watershed …

Spatiotemporal Temperature and Concentration Measurements in a Monolith Reactor
Honeycomb reactor is often used in pollution abatement applications. A typical commercial honeycomb reactor is made of a ceramic material, which is deposited with the high surface area washcoat carrier such as Al2O3. The polluted gases enter the reactor channels and diffuse through this porous …
