Abstract | An analysis of the economic impact of potential hazardous waste management regulations upon inorganic chemicals was performed based on hazardous waste management cost data supplied by the EPA. The inorganic chemicals included chlorine and caustic soda, hydrofluoric acid, elemental phosphorus, sodium dichromate, titanium dioxide, aluminum fluoride, chrome pigments, nickel sulfate, phosphorus pentasulfide, phosphorus trichloride, and sodium silicofluoride. A methodology was developed to systematically judge the broader economic effects on these chemicals, resulting from applications of hazardous waste management control, first by assessing the likelihood that management costs would be defrayed through price increases, and secondly, if price increases were not likely, the likelihood that plant closures would occur. Based on this approach, it was concluded that only hydrofluoric acid appears to be susceptible to plant shutdowns as a result of hazardous waste management control costs. |
