本研究分析了1991年至2008年美国三个制造业部门的有毒化学物质管理。采用对数平均Divisia指数分解分析法，从清洁生产、管端处理、转移进一步管理、中间物料混合、生产规模五个因素分析有毒化学物质排放的变化。根据我们的研究结果，化学制造部门主要通过管道末端处理来减少有毒化学物质的排放。同时，转让进一步管理有助于减少金属加工业的有毒化学物质排放。这是因为环境商业市场在1990年代扩大，金属和其他废物回收的基础设施变得更有效率。清洁生产是电气产品工业中有毒化学物质减少的主要贡献者。这意味着电气产品行业在开发更环保的产品设计和生产过程方面取得了成功。
This study analyzes toxic chemical substance management in three U.S. manufacturing sectors from 1991 to 2008. Decomposition analysis applying the logarithmic mean Divisia index is used to analyze changes in toxic chemical substance emissions by the following five factors: cleaner production, end-of-pipe treatment, transfer for further management, mixing of intermediate materials, and production scale. Based on our results, the chemical manufacturing sector reduced toxic chemical substance emissions mainly via end-of-pipe treatment. In the meantime, transfer for further management contributed to the reduction of toxic chemical substance emissions in the metal fabrication industry. This occurred because the environmental business market expanded in the 1990s, and the infrastructure for the recycling of metal and other wastes became more efficient. Cleaner production is the main contributor to toxic chemical reduction in the electrical product industry. This implies that the electrical product industry is successful in developing a more environmentally friendly product design and production process.
