This document presents data on different pollution abatement methods for three pollutants - particulate, sulfur oxide, and hydrocarbons. It shows the required reduction for each pollutant, the reduction achieved by different methods including taller smokestacks, filters, and better fuels for blast furnaces and open hearths. It also lists the costs of each method and the optimal amounts of each method to use to minimize total cost while meeting reduction requirements, as calculated by the What'sBest optimization model. The optimal solution has a total cost of $32.15 using a combination of the different abatement methods.
