- Approaches to pollution management
- Change human activities
- reduce volume of waste which ends up in landfills
- cut down amount of raw materials needed for manufacture of new products
- make recycling convenient for consumer
- Regulate and reduce quantities of pollutants released at the point of emission
- have measures for extracting the pollutant from the waste emission
- Flue gas treatment (FGT) = process of removing pollutants from waste incinerators
- expensive
- difficult to enforce such measures in the unregulated part of the economy
- Cleaning up the pollutant and restoring ecosystem
- expensive process (both time and money wise)
- natural condition = bacteria take time to break down pollutants before ecosystem recovers through secondary succession
- integration of polices
- pollution management schemes will employ aspects of each three approches
- unrealistic to expect human activities to cease to pollute the environment
- if pollution source is captured = cheaper in the long term = they will not have polluted the environment = no need for cleaning up
- cleaning up is necessary but it is least effective
- pollution management schemes will employ aspects of each three approches
- Change human activities
