      "summary": "A recurring issue in environmental policy is the cost of pollution control imposed on individuals,\nbusinesses, and governments. To inform policymakers about these costs, a number of surveys and\nanalyses have been conducted over the years. Consistent, basic sources have been an annual survey\nof costs to manufacturers, conducted by the Bureau of Census (BOC), and an annual analysis of total\ncosts, prepared by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). Overall, the BEA analysis showed the\nnation spent $122 billion for pollution abatement and control in 1994, or about 1.76% of Gross\nDomestic Product. Personal consumption expenditures for pollution control were $22 billion,\ngovernment $35 billion, and business $65 billion. These 1994 data represent the end of the annual\nseries: the BOC survey and BEA analysis have been discontinued.",
