|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial Emissions Monitors (IEMs) | 120 | 7 500 | 4 800 | 24 000 |
| Municipal Waste Scanners (MWSs) | 400 | 3 200 | 9 600 | 14 400 |

Using Extract G, identify two significant points of comparison between the costs and the benefits of the two types of monitoring technology.
