Like the question "How long is apiece of string?" there is no answer for all gases. Pollution abatement at the source can involve the installation of millions of dollars with of treatment equipment or it can actually be profitable if the treatment recovers a waste stream that can be reused, resold or otherwise consumed. Similarly pollution which has escaped to the environment can cost millions or billions of dollars to clean up like the leaking oil platform in the Gulf or Mexico or be almost free if natural effects destroy the pollution by simply stopping the addition of fresh pollutants to the area.
