Editorial: Regulations recently imposed by the government of Risemia call for unprecedented reductions in the amounts of pollutants manufacturers are allowed to discharge into the environment  It will take costly new pollution control equipment requiring expensive maintenance to comply with these regulations  Resultant price increases for Risemian manufactured goods will lead to the loss of some export markets
Clearly, ttherefore, annual exports of Risemian manufactured goods will in the future occur at diminished levels
The need to comply with the new regulations will stimulate the development within Risemia of new pollution control equipment for which a strong worldwide demand is likely to emerge.
