Abstract: Some environmentalists believe that nature has intrinsic value whether humans are around to sense and experience it or not, therefore they do typically recomnand the elimination of pollution. Economists tend to deal with pollution in a dlfferent way because they consider it occurs only when one or more individuals suffer a loss of Welfare. So pollution being a negative externality- there is an optirnal level of pollution. The search for this efficient level raises difficult problems because we need to know the private beneflt of the polluter and the external cost.
