Air Pollution

In a global economy, businesses must innovative and be able to react quickly to changes in the marketplace. However, additions or changes to plant equipment, substitution of raw materials that are used in manufacturing processes or even changes in product schedules may require require the issuance of new air pollution permits or modification of the existing permit which can inhibit the ability of companies to respond to market forces.

For example, under a new federal air pollution program, companies that reduce their air emissions can sell the rights to emit those air pollutants. Sometimes it is cheaper to buy the pollution rights than install additional
