MONETIZATION OF INTANGIBLES: THE CASE OF POLLUTION

Quantification of the effects of air and noise pollution has no single best solution. Minimum total pollution cost is a combination of damage and control costs. It is suggested that pollution changes be calculated in measurable physical units which should then be complemented by cost estimates using avoidance costs, property value and damage cost. It is expected that all these techniques will be refined as pollution control is expanded.
