What Are Some Challenges in Setting Emission Limits?
One of the challenges in setting emission limits is the variability in the toxicity of different substances. Some chemicals may have well-documented health effects, while others may lack sufficient data. Additionally, the synergistic effects of multiple pollutants can complicate risk assessments. Economic considerations, such as the cost of compliance for industries and the potential impact on jobs, also play a role in the regulatory decision-making process.
