Total amount of pollution decreases.
Under this mechanism the firm which produces more pollution can buy the permits from less pollutent firms. This is one of the method bro reduce the pollution level and to overcome the problems of market failure.

5. Correcting for negative externalities - Regulation versus tradable permits Suppose the government wants to reduce the total pollution emitted by three local firms. Currently, each firm is creating 4 units of pollution in the area, for a total of 12 pollution units. If the government wants to reduce total pollution in the area to 6 units, it can choose between the following two methods: Available Methods to Reduce Pollution 1. The government sets pollution standards using regulation. 2. The government allocates tradable pollution...
