Resources for the Future (RFF), located in Washington, D.C., offers the full text of the April 2000 discussion paper entitled "Cost-effective Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) Control in the Eastern United States," written by Alan Krupnick and others. The text is available in PDF format. This paper discusses many aspects of the debate over the appropriate approach for incentive reductions in NOx emissions from point sources beyond those called for in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990.

(cont.) This study demonstrates the scientific and economic feasibility of a time-differentiated trading scheme. I explore whether such a regulatory design is justifiable with respect to ozone forecast accuracy by conducting sensitivity analysis of ozone prediction errors and discover that uncertainty in ozone forecasting may not be a major limiting factor for the feasibility of a time-differentiated NOx cap-and-trade program.

Resources for the Future (RFF), located in Washington, D.C., offers the full text of the December 2000 discussion paper entitled "Cost-effective Reduction of Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) Emissions from Electricity Generation," written by Dallas Burtraw, Karen Palmer, Ranjit Bharvirkar, and Anthony Paul. The text is available in PDF format. The authors examine the benefits and costs of policies to reduce NOx emissions from electricity generation in the United States and suggest the implementation of an annual reduction.
Studies in Environmental Science, Volume 21: Air Pollution by Nitrogen Oxides presents the proceedings of the US–Dutch International Symposium on Nitrogen Oxide, held in Maastricht, The Netherlands on May 24–28, 1982. This book provides research and development information related to the national and international policies on nitrogen oxides in the United States, The Netherland, Japan, and elsewhere in Europe. Organized into five sessions encompassing 94 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the atmospheric cycle of nitrogen oxide in terms of source strength, destruction rates, and atmospheric chemistry. This text then examines the fundamental physical and chemical processes involved in the formation of nitrogen oxides. Other chapters consider the regional pulmonary deposition of nitrogen dioxide in man, guinea pigs, rats, and rabbits by using a general mathematical model formulation for the transport of gases in the lungs. This book discusses as well the emission control methods and systems with low nitrogen oxide capability for possible application in The Netherlands and other parts of Europe. This book is a valuable resource for government administrative officials, research scientists, air pollution control experts, and students.
