Abstract

Abstract: Non-point source (NPS) emission standard is an important approach for NPS emission control. Study on cost-benefit analysis during the formulation of environmental standards is still in an initial stage in China, with insufficient studies made for cost-benefit analysis of NPS pollution standards. In this paper, methods and ideas for cost-benefit analysis of NPS emission standards in China are studied on the basis of cost-benefit analysis theories and studies in America and China, thus putting forward methods to classify and calculate the costs and benefits of NPS emission standards. In the meantime, Emission Standard of Air Pollutant for Gasoline Filling Stations is used as an example to comprehensively discuss the methods for cost-benefit analysis of established NPS emission standards, thus maximizing the benefits of NPS pollutant prevention and providing reference to the formulation of other NPS pollutant emission standards, as well as cost-benefit analysis.
