it ranks low among the fifteen
pressures. This pressure always provides nominal motivation to
control usage of hazardous materials in industries. Based on these
reasons, Regional environmental regulations (R3) are assigned less
weightage. High penalty for environmental pollution (R4) and
Environmental regulations for export countries (R5) obtained the
13th and 15th rank overall, based on their weightage (R4: 0.041;
R5: 0.026). These ranks infer that rules and regulations on environmental
issues need to be stricter and more compelling than they
are in the present situation.
