Abstract: This paper surveys the use of mathematical programming models for controlling environmental quality. The scope includes air, water, and land quality, stemming from the first works in the 1960s. It also includes integrated models, generally that are economic equilibrium models which have an equivalent mathematical program or use mathematical programming to compute a fixed point. A primary goal of this survey is to identify interesting research avenues for people in mathematical programming with an interest in applying it to help control our environment with as little economic sacrifice as possible.
