Abstract |
The Office of Toxics Integration of the Environmental Protection Agency undertook this study to examine the conceptual and practical limitations of the application of traditional cost-effectiveness methods to multi-media regulatory analysis and to determine the extent to which these methods may contribute to the integration of EPA's multiple program office controls on toxic chemicals. The goal in developing inter-media air, land, and water cost-effectiveness analysis is to allow comparative evaluation of the various combined alternatives for chemical risk reduction. The key analytical problem in developing an integrated approach is the difficulty of comparing the relative costs and benefits of regulatory proposals (or existing regulations) across media. Conventional benefit measures are usually not feasible to support a multi-media chemical control strategy. Benefit measures must reflect some positive change that is closer in the chain of effects to the ultimate receptors, e.g., units of exposure reduced or specific health risks reduced, than has generally been reflected in past regulations. The study also demonstrates the difficulties in comparing cost data between different Agency control programs. |
