Question
Chapter 1, Problem 34Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A precedent for soil and water pollution that arose from the improper recycling of electronic devices have to be found and how could these situations have been prevented has also to be found.
Concept Introduction:
Soil pollution: It refers to the contamination of soil due to the deposition of toxic substances which ultimately pose a high risk to the health of human and ecosystem.
Water pollution: It refers to the contamination of water due to the draining of industrial wastes into the water resources which ultimately converts the water to be unfit for drinking and domestically purposes.

- Fossil fuel, nuclear, and hydroelectric power plants all require a transmission network to transport electricity from where it is generated to where it is used. MCFCs, with their smaller size and portability, can be placed much closer to where the power is needed, reducing the need for transmission lines. With this in mind, explain why MCFCs may have a greater advantage for providing power in developing countries versus in developed countries.arrow_forwardIn a town (before 1950) where high amounts of PVC products were manufactured, many people in the town and surroundings, experience sickness due to the toxin agent vinyl chloride, a byproduct of polyvinyl chloride (commonly known as PVC) reaction. Hi, can you elaborate on the following: do you think modern day EPA and Federal regulations (if they were similarly in place in the early 1950’s) would have been effective in countering vinyl chloride toxicity problem before it started to affect individuals, or do you think that even with regulation in place this threat might have occurred the same way?

In other words, when we draw that upward-sloping MC curve, we assume that firms respond to regulation by maintaining the same basic production technology but adding on scrubbers or filters to clean up their emissions. Under these conditions, rising marginal costs of reduction are quite likely. However, suppose that firms radically overhaul their production technology, so that they completely eliminate emissions. This is known as a “pollution prevention” strategy. An example might be a jeweler, who in the face of regulation adopts a closed-loop production system. This is one in which all mineral waste products are recovered from recycled wastewater and then reused. What would the marginal cost of reduction diagram look like in this case? a.
