Industrial Pollution Reduction among Administrative Regions

Article Preview

Abstract:

Total control target for pollution emission is the principal mode in China within a long period in the future, and therefore pollution reduction allocation is a key issue for pollution control. This paper describes an integrated theory and methodology of industrial pollution reduction among administrative regions, including 1) three basic principles, 2) an index system, 3) an innovative optimal allocation model based on combination of Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and Genetic Algorithms (GA), and 4) an empirical research on allocation of industrial chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction of 17 sub-regions of Shandong province in China. The results of the empirical research were conformed to the basis of sustainable development. This integrated theory and methodology are applied but not limited in pollution reduction, having broad application prospect in the optimization of the use of environmental resources.
