RecommendationThe EPA Regullation lead company cost become higher in short time, but in the long term company Long Average Cost will become low cause the excess par of employe maintaining health office over environment cost and technology improvement

To help companies and prevent the cost held by consumer is need government support and subsidies to company that run the regullation
