Reducing industrial emissions
Implementation:
In the 1970s, identifiable expenditures on reducing pollution in industrial countries typically amounted to 2.0 to 2.5% of investment costs. As standards have tightened, these expenditures have risen to 5% in Germany and Japan and 4% in the USA. Broader:
