Pollution costs sharpen global debate on industry export risk
A New York Times survey across 15 countries finds that pollution control costs are rising and may hinder exports against rivals with laxer standards. It notes strong public demand for cleaner air and water in Britain, West Germany, Canada, Japan, Italy, and others, while developing nations show varied urgency. Italians face a projected $1 billion yearly clean-up bill for 15 years. Opinions differ on an international standards treaty, with many industrial nations supporting a convention to share costs and set standards, while Brazil opposes imposing higher costs on its exports.
