- Title
THE MISSING INSTRUMENT: DIRTY INPUT LIMITS.
- Authors
Driesen, David M.; Sinden, Amy
- Abstract
The article evaluates the administrative advantages and dynamic properties of Dirty Input Limits (DILs), which refer to quantitative limits on the inputs that cause pollution. End-of-the-pipe controls and pollution prevention are the means that polluters can employ to reduce pollution outputs. Under the end-of-the-pipe controls method, the polluter does not change its inputs or production processes so it does not reduce the amount of pollution initially created. Meanwhile, pollution prevention allows polluters to reduce or change inputs to reduce pollution. A 33/50 program was created by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to reduce priority toxic pollutants through pollution prevention.
