Pollution Problem The problem of pollution becomes more important in today's world. With the rapid economic development, Environmental problems become more and more serious. We can divide the environmental pollution into three types: air pollution(such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, hydrocarbons, particulates), water pollution(such as dissolved oxygen and materials and matter) and land pollution(like dump of wastes and tear up earth's surface). Because of these wastes from production and consumption are dumped into the environment, human's life and work are effected. In order to protect the environment people living, government have set some policies to protect the environment, reduce the wastes dump, and control the environmental pollution.

The pollution right is that people can dump wastes with ensuring the behavior does not damage any other public environment. In 1977, American government made some clauses and policies that allowed the transfer of pollution rights between different factories, It provided a new choice for enterprises positive to reduce pollution with least money. From then on, other countries used the pollution rights step by step. Some people regard as long as there is pollution, we can build the pollution rights market. In my opinion there is a premise condition of using the pollution right, that is the environmental capacity is not saturating. In other words, it is impossible that any production and consumption can achieve zero discharge of pollution, but the pollution should be quantized, we need have the rest environmental capacity. If a place's environmental capacity is saturating, there is no more rest pollution rights, mot to mention the pollution rights market might work. In the most developed countries, their economic develop very fast but ever mention the pollution problems, until the pollution problems become serious then they recognize to control the pollution and protect the environment. The cost of control the pollution exist both the explicit and implicit costs. Enterprises discharge of pollutants or use the nature resources
