Costs regulatory requirements

The issues in these evaluations are safety as related to toxicity and flammability, environmental impact as related to the generation of volatile organic compounds and global warming, product performance as related to insulating properties, conformity to fire codes, and the like, cost and availability, and regulatory requirements. 

It should be emphasized, however, that pollution prevention techniques are, nevertheless, often more cost-effective than pollution reduction through end-of-pipe treatment technologies. A case study based on the Amoco/EPA joint study claimed that the same pollution reduction currently realized through end-of-pipe regulatory requirements at the Amoco facility could be achieved at 15% of the current costs using pollution prevention techniques.

Efficiency means carrying out regulatory responsibilities using as few resources (human, financial and time) as possible. Efficiency is also an issue in relation to the resources which the regulated parties must invest, and the opportunity costs they incur in conforming with regulatory requirements (i.e. in expending resources in that way, which cannot then be used for another purpose). 

With the increasing costs of new product development, industry concentrates on specific materials and chemistries, and on meeting specific regulatory requirements. Technological developments (Table 10.6)... 

The C02 gas quality has significant impact on the capture cost by this technology, and uncertainties on the future regulatory requirements of C02 quality for its transport and storage has influence on the process configuration of the oxy-combustion plant, gas cleaning unit performance, overall C02 recovery capacity and on the energy requirements for C02 compression and purification. 

A major attraction of landfill disposal of wastes has been its low cost. However, the increasingly stringent regulatory requirements have... 

Dissolution is becoming one of the most commonly automated functions in the modern pharmaceutical development and quality assurance (QA) laboratory. To the experienced dissolution analyst the reasons seem obvious. Dissolution methods are time-consuming and require a significant amount of labor. Beyond the cost of labor, the true cost of increased regulatory requirements and documentation can be better managed through automation. Additionally, the increased pressure to... 

In short, most pharma companies assure the quality and product safety related to their laboratories, but are overzea-lous in meeting regulatory requirements to the detriment of cost controls. The responsible segment of the industry is doing more than it needs to do and is spending too much time and too many resources on the vahdation of DIMS. 

In an unregulated environment costs are driven by quality concerns, but in a regulated environment, those costs may exceed quality needs because of regulatory requirements that... 

The regional temperature variations, rainfall, patterns, groundwater flow characteristics, explosive type, explosive concentration, presence of other contaminants, land value, and other regulatory requirements can affect the wetland s cost. Constructed wetlands may not be financially viable at aU sites (D20499J, p. 2 D20503Y, p. 30). 

To determine if thermal oxidation is cost effective at a given site, the following criteria are evaluated contaminant flow rate, inlet contaminant concentration, regulatory requirements, fuel costs, and uses for heat recovery of the combustion waste stream (D17730U, p. 3).
