    made for market-based approach to controlling pollution by providing economic incentives for reducing the emissions of pollutants. A central authority allocates or sells a limited number of

    Emissions Standards set quantitative limits on the permissible amount of specific air pollutants that may be released from specific sources over a specific period. It is a legal requirement for companies that emit harmful gases into the atmosphere.
