Chapter 5.13, Problem 5.27YT
Beginning in the 1920s, the octane-booster tetraethyllead (TEL) was mixed with gasoline to improve vehicle performance and fuel economy. The United States completed the ban on leaded gasoline in 1996 because of the hazards associated with lead exposure and its damaging effect on catalytic converters and spark plugs. However, other sources of lead still exist. Be a detective on the Internet to identify:
- a. an occupational source of lead exposure.
- b. a hobby that is a source of lead exposure.
- c. a source of lead exposure that particularly affects children.

The chart shows average CO2 emissions for fossil fuel vehicles (gasoline, diesel, and hybrid gas‑electric), as well as electric vehicles. The ordinate is mg CO2 per mile driven per pound mass of the vehicle (called curb weight). For electric vehicles, CO2 emission varies in U.S. states because of the mix of fuels used to generate electricity. If electricity came entirely from solar power, there would be little CO2 associated with its production. California has the lowest CO2 emission for producing electricity and Ohio has the highest because it depends heavily on coal‑fired power plants. The chart does not include CO2 emission from manufacturing vehicles. When normalized for distance driven by each kind of vehicle before it is scrapped, CO2 emission associated with manufacturing electric vehicles is estimated to be 25–75% greater than CO2 emission associated with manufacturing gasoline and diesel vehicles. If manufacturing were included, CO2 emission associated with electric vehicles…
Identify the single most effective strategy to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
A. Use methane rather than gasoline for fuel in cars and trucks
B. Develop alternate energy sources that do not rely on fossil fuels
C. Use wood as a home heating fuel
D. Convert all vehicles to diesel fuel
One rider rides the bicycle for 50 km. He hears unwanted sound from chain drive and brakes. He applies grease and oil to the different moving parts of Bicycle. Suddenly after this procedure the sounds coming from it reduced to 90% and Rider feels that he is now using less power to ride the bicycle for the same distance.
Explain how the grease and oil helped the rider for smother bicycle ride

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.
