An Expert System for Estimating Cost and Analysis of Air Pollution Control

Expert System for Estimating Cost and Analysis of Air Pollution Control was developed using CLIPS. The developed Expert Systems facilitate decision making involving selection of the best available technology as control measure. It was discovered that at equilibrium, total cost of reduction is equ...

It was discovered that at equilibrium, total cost of reduction is equal to total cost of damages. It was further found that change in quantity of Air pollution is positive.
