This paper reviews the development of industrial pollution control policies in Asia over the last 25 years. In collecting the material for this survey, the authors have drawn on material collected in the countries themselves, particularly in India, the Philippines and Thailand, and from USAID's own programs and studies carried out in Asia. The survey evaluates the effectiveness of different instruments used for environmental regulation, and analyzes the factors that have influenced their effectiveness. It particularly examines the use of market-based instruments and comments on their role in the country's industrial pollution control strategy in this region. Finally it offers some suggestions for ways of making pollution control more effective and more efficient. Five countries have been selected for a detailed analysis of their policies: China, India, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand. Sections 2 through 6 deal with each of them respectively. Section 7 offers general comments on other countries in the region and some comparisons with the five listed above. Finally section 8 offers conclusions and recommendations for policy reform in the area of environmental regulation. It

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
