Abstract
In this study, an optimized industry-environment model is proposed for identifying environmental risk under uncertainties. The strategy associated with an emission-permit trading mechanism has been introduced into the industrial-environment regulation (model) for remitting the pressures of frequent/severe haze events in Beijing City. A dual stochastic mixed fuzzy risk analysis method with Laplace’s criterion (DSFRL) can be embedded into industry-environment issues with a trading emission-permit trading mechanism (IEST) for handling uncertainties regarded as possibility and probability distributions. Meanwhile, this can also reflect the environmental risks and corresponding system benefits due to the occurrence of a random event (such as random wind velocity). Based on the application of the proposed IEST with DSFRL, the numbers of the obtained results associated with production reduction, adjustment of industrial layout pattern, emission-permit transactions, pollutant mitigation and system benefits under various Laplace criterion cases can be analyzed. A tradeoff between production development and pollution mitigation based on the preference of policymakers can be used for rectifying current strategies with a sustainable mode, which can prompt an effort to confront air pollution
Highlights
Against the background of rapid urbanization/industrialization, high-speed economic development has greatly improved human lives across the world, but has brought about detrimental pressures on the air environment
Excessive pollutant emissions can bring about an increment of concentration of pollution in the air, which would influence public health
The results indicate that lower wind velocities would generate higher concentrations of pollution
Summary
Against the background of rapid urbanization/industrialization, high-speed economic development has greatly improved human lives across the world, but has brought about detrimental pressures on the air environment. The air pollution issue can give rise to a health risk in Beijing, which is today challenging policymakers [1,2,3]. Against the stresses of air pollution, a number of anthropogenic engineering techniques (including engineering control measures, clean production techniques, environmental regulation policy and an industrial adjustment strategy) have been advocated to confront such hazardous air pollution issues. A market approach can drive industrial companies to improve the efficiency of pollutant treatments, with the aim of avoiding a higher environmental penalty or cost for buying the emission permit. An optimized industry-environment strategy with an emission-permit trading mechanism (IEST) is desirable for coordinating the relationship between the development of the economy and the protection of the environment in Beijing, reducing the environmental risk and damage to public health [5,6]
