Research indicates that chemical industries located along a river discharge highly toxic effluents into the river in your country. This pollutes the river water and contaminates fisheries resources for which the industries do not compensate for the reduced quality of the river water and fisheries losses. If you are a high-ranking government official with an expertise in environmental economics, what different methods will you consider to apply to address the issue? Give an international example to show that the effluents are likely to threaten public health security.

2. Four chemical plants discharge effluents into streams in the vicinity of their locations. To determine if there is any difference in the extent of pollution created by the effluents, five samples of liquid waste were collected from each plant. The data collected is as follows: Plant Polluting Effluents (lb/gal of waste) A 1.65 1.72 1.50 1.37 1.60 B 1.70 1.85 1.46 2.05 1.80 C 1.40 1.75 1.38 1.65 2.00 D 2.10 1.95 1.65 1.88 2.00 (b) Do the data...

A sewage treatment plant located along a river reported a chemical spill which may have released mercury into the river. The local environmental regulatory agency requires that such spills be monitored, and any spill that results in a long term mercury level above 2.5 µg/L (micrograms per litre) requires the party at fault to pay a large fee. A random sample of 58 measurements showed a mercury reading near the treatment plant to have a sample mean of 2.7 µg/L...

It is the custom for paper mills located alongside the Layzee River to discharge waste products into the river. As a result, operators of hydroelectric power-generating plants downstream along the river find that they must clean up the river's water before it flows through their equipment. If the government intervenes and corrects the externality in the situation described above, we would expect Select one: A. the price of paper from the mills to decrease. B. production in the paper mills...

The Petroco Company uses a highly toxic chemical in one of its manufacturing processes. It must have the product delivered by special cargo trucks designed for safe shipment of chemicals. As such, ordering (and delivery) costs are relatively high, at $2,600 per order. The chemical product is packaged in 1-gallon plastic containers. The cost of holding the chemical in storage is $50 per gallon per year. The annual demand for the chemical, which is constant over time, is 2,000 gallons...
