The costs, from the point of view of the market, caused to man and his environment, from pollution resulting from electricity generation. In the process of generating electricity, as a by-product of burning fuels, a number of pollutants are emitted into the atmosphere. The principle pollutants include: sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NOX), particulates (soot, etc.) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The first three elements are poisonous materials that harm the respiratory system, whilst CO2 causes the greenhouse effect. Based on a report prepared by the Israeli Ministry of Environmental Protection in 2008, the extraneous costs to the Israeli market for each ton of emissions is as follows: particulates 7061 euro per ton, nitrogen oxide 2865 euro, sulfur dioxide 4947 euro, carbon dioxide 14.83 euro
