Abstract

Using cost estimates for the control of particulate matter and sulfur dioxide emissions in the state of West Virginia developed in a recent study by William H. Miernyk and J. Sears, this paper examines the impact of meeting federal air pollution abatement standards on manpower requirements in that region. Within a regional input-output framework, the effects of the technological changes and the capital requirements of several abatement alternatives are presented and compared.
