Abstract

Petrochemical spills in airports and air force bases often cause environmental damage around the world. This article models the economic aspects of jet fuel spills caused by air force activity. the model was modified to evaluate possible pollution prevention policies using available data from the Hatzor case study in Israel. Results indicate that a market-for-used-fuel policy is more efficient than a policy that regulates polluted fuel disposal.
