The impact of environmental controls on industry is discussed in eight chapters. The 1972 Amendments to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (the original bill was passed in 1956) are typical of this legislation. The impact of these amendments on several manufacturing industries--which is the specific focus of this book--is only now being felt. The legislation requires that, by 1977, industries achieve water pollution control levels consistent with the ''best practicable technology'' and by 1983 performance improve still further to reflect the ''best available technology''. By 1985, the goal is for the ''end of discharge of pollutants''. Robert A. Leone and Richard Startz are the authors of Chapter 1, The Methodology: A Framework for Analysis. The following chapters are: The Petroleum Refining Industry, James L. Smith; The Pulp and Paper Industry, Robert A. Leone, Richard Startz, and Mark Farber; The Iron and Steel Industry, An-Loh Lin and Robert A. Leone; The Textile Industry, Anne Hill and Edward V. Blanchard; The Aluminum Industry, Wu-Lang Lee, Robert A. Leone, and James L. Smith; The Metal Finishing Industry, J. Royce Ginn and Robert A. Leone. The final chapter by Robert A. Leone examines the empirical findings, methodology and data limitations, and some generalizations. (MCW)
