A discussion of emission tradeoffs includes Standard Oil Co. (Ohio)'s agreement to pay $78 million for a sulfur dioxide scrubber and nitrogen oxide removal equipment at one of Southern California Edison Co.'s Long Beach, Calif., generating stations; the possible role of ''emissions brokers'' in finding new emission sources to be traded off for new plants; and arguments against the offset policy in that it makes pollution profitable.
