As a result, there is growing interest in the potential of informal regulations to achieve environmental goals. In India, many polluting industries fall under the rubric of the unorganized sector. In such a context, localized pollution may be influenced by discussions and reports on pollution in the vernacular press. This study attempts to test the hypothesis that the press can act as an informal agent of pollution control. This hypothesis is tested using monthly water pollution data from four hotspots in the state of Gujarat, for the period 1996 to 2000. The results show that the press can function as an informal regulator if there is sustained interest in news about pollution. However, not all pollution agents are affected by pollution news. Press coverage appears to mainly influence industrial estates with a mix of small, medium and large industries.Item Valuation of urban air pollution : a case study of Kanpur city in India(SANDEE, Kathmandu, NP, 2006) Gupta, UshaItem Implementation of effluent taxes for Cambodian industry : an assessment of pollutant levies(Ministry of Environment of Cambodia, Phnom Penh, KH, 2006) Muong, SidethItem Health impacts of diesel vehicle emissions : the case of Colombo(Department of Economics, University of Colombo, Colombo, LK, 2006) Chandrasiri, SunilThis study makes an attempt to assess the health effects of diesel vehicle exhaust emissions in Colombo and the costs of various pollution control interventions. As far as we are aware, this is one of very few studies which has taken into account the effect of both PM10 and PM2.5 in estimating the potential health damage of auto-diesel emissions. The study begins with an analysis of structural changes in vehicle population and auto-fuel consumption in Sri Lanka. This is followed by an assessment of ambient air quality levels in Colombo based on both sample observations and statistical estimation methodologies. The estimates reveal that diesel vehicles account for about 89 per cent of PM10 emissions in Colombo. The estimated health damage is in the region of Rs. 22 to 17 billion per annum based on high and low impact scenarios. Of the various pollution control measures, reduction of the price differential between petrol and diesel ranks as the most beneficial intervention followed by inspection and maintenance programs. In overall terms, policy-oriented pollution control options take priority over technical solutions in reducing potential health damage due to auto-diesel emissions.
