Cost effectiveness of reducing dioxin emissions from municipal solid waste incinerators in Japan
Article Abstract:
A study to determine the cost effectiveness of regulations adopted in 1997 by the Japanese government which set standards that limit the amount of dioxin emissions produced by municipal solid waste incinerators in an effort to reduce the amount of exposure levels to dioxins and decrease instances of cancer.
