A mathematical model for controlling the generation of industrial pollution in a given economic system is presented. For each sector of the economy, the model determines the appropriate technologies that provide for pollutant levels not exceeding some specified range. Given specific pollution emission information, the model provides an information system for analyzing industrial pollution problems. An algorithm for solving the problem is also provided.
