Mostly everyone would agree that pollution is undesirable. But cleaner environment requires higher production costs and a lower level of output. It is difficult though to measure the value on the health, environmental, and aesthetic benefits resulting from a cleaner environment. The health effects associated with the release of various chemicals into the air or water are often not fully understood. While the relationship between carbon dioxide emissions and global warming is the subject of a great deal of scientific speculation and study, precise measurements of the expected environmental damage are not yet available. It is also not easy to place a value on the aesthetic pleasure that individuals may experience knowing that the air and water surrounding them is cleaner.Did you know that veryday household items such as toothpaste, shaving foam, deodorant, perfume and furniture polish contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that cause pollution?VOCs react with sunlight to form ozone pollution.
