Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The engineering approach to estimating incremental environmental costs relies on expert input and focuses on identifying and costing out the least-cost technology available to reduce or eliminate pollution. This method does not primarily depend on surveys or direct reports from polluting sources, nor is it referred to as the physical linkage approach.
