OVERVIEW: Scott Paul will present the results of the Alliance for American Manufacturing's acclaimed study, An Assessment of Environmental Regulation of the Steel Industry of China. That
well documented report concluded that: "Less stringent standards, lower
industry expenditures on environmental controls, a decentralized
regulatory structure, and a less effective enforcement program all
result in levels of pollution from the Chinese steel industry that are
nearly twenty times higher per ton of steel than in the U.S. in the
case of overall emissions of particulate matter, and between two and
six times higher in the case of other measures of pollutants levels.
Roxanne Brown will discuss the implications of these findings for the
on-going debate in the Unted States regarding the curbing of green
house gasses.
