Question

You are the general manager of a regional chemical company. In the course of producing your bulk chemicals, large amounts of particles and smoke are emitted through your plant’s smokestack. The level of pollutants is below current EPA regulations, and you are violating no laws, but neighborhood groups are complaining about minor health problems caused by the smoke. After investigating numerous alternatives, you find the most effective solution would be to install a “scrubber” system, which will remove 90% of the pollutants and ash. Cost: $1 million. Do you install the system?

Explanation / Answer

Yes, I would install a scrubber in order to solve the issues of the local keeping humanity and civic sense in my mind. It does not matter if it violates the law or not but if the locals are getting hampered due to this act of the company then this should be actioned immediately.

Even if it cost 1 Million, but this should be addressed keeping community welfare in mind.
