The concepts of environmental costs / Planning and Finance Service, Environment Canada.: En102-1/00-1E-PDF

"The purpose of this paper is to suggest a common definitional and conceptual base with which to approach the subject of environmental costs. The paper presents a definition of terms and illustrates the concepts behind these terms. Environmental costs are the total costs incurred by society in the managing of its wastes. In practice, cost estimates are thought of in terms of air, water and solid waste, but conceptually other areas such as noise pollution and aesthetic degradation are included"--Introduction.
