Abstract
Smoke abatement traditionally has relied on a corps of chimney watchers and equipment inspectors attempting to maintain surveillance under a general smoke ordinance. While this kind of surveillance is necessary, it usually indicates a control strategy which is vague and often unevenly applied. An alternative is air pollution control based on well-defined emission rights for each parcel of land in a region. In this approach, air resource management is integrated with urban and regional planning. The authors are associates of the Center for Environmental Studies, Argonne National Laboratory.
