Controlling pollution in rural areas by economic instruments.

abstract：:Incident electromagnetic radiation hitting the Earth's surface shows three phenomena as absorptivity, reflectivity and transmissivity where sum of the three is equal to one. The transmissivity is zero when the surface is opaque. There is a strong relationship between absorptivity and emissivity that is explained by Ki...
