With the obtained  results, a cost-benefit analysis based on estimates of sulfur dioxide damages  shows that the presently recommended National Tertiary Standard for sulfur  dioxide concentration might not be optimal for the studied region, Chongqing City  for the time being. A more relaxed emission reduction requirement is indicated  by the results of this analysis to malce it cost-effective.  Based on the present available data, the results from the above analysis  and opinions of some of the experts and planners in the city, an Analytic  Hierarchy Process Model is set up to formulate the appropriate policies for  abatement of sulfur dioxide emissions from coal combustion. The result suggests  that reinforcement of control regulations be given highest priority in the following  decade in the studied area. 0aCoalxChinaxCombustion 0aSulphur dioxide1 aExell, Robert H.B., eChairperson1 aBhattacharya, Sribas C.,eExamination Committee1 aShrestha, Ram M.,eExamination Committee2 aCommission of the European Community, eScholarship Donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
