Abstract: ABSTRACT The study presented here is the first to apply, in the Italian context, the input‐output technique to evaluate and plan economics and environmental measures for the control and reduction of industrial water pollution. A biregional I‐O model (SMART), implemented by the Institute of Research into the Economic Planning of Toscany (IRPFT). has been used in order to take into account the expense and the economic impact of a recent act concerning antipollution waste standards (Merli Act). The article concerns the economic and environmental impacts of different components of the final demand, the net trade balance of the pollution, an unusual “shadow price” of pollution by using the dual version of the model, and the effects of the introduction of antipollution equipment according to different possibilities for financing them.
