Discusses the effectiveness of government regulations designed to reduce air pollution and recommends changes in air pollution policies and laws.

Industrial Pollution Control: Issues and Techniques Second Edition Nancy J. Sell This revised guide incorporates all the important information on pollution sources, control methods, and pollution regulations generated since publication of the previous edition in 1981. This edition surveys the impacts of every type of pollution on health, plants, materials, and weather. It discusses how different types of pollution are produced, laws governing specific emissions, and both existing and emerging air, water, and solid waste control techniques. Detailed sections zero in on processing methods, pollution production, and control methods in specific industries, including chemical, physical, and economic factors that inhibit better pollution control. Case studies offer insights into processes that directly minimize emissions or indirectly reduce them by decreasing energy needs. Pollution issues of iron and steel manufacturing, foundry operations, metals finishing, cement manufacture, glass manufacture, paper and pulp, food processing, brewing, tanning, and chemical industries are probed in depth. Among the new pollution control strategies covered are: * Regulations, treatment techniques, and disposal methods for hazardous wastes * Direct steelmaking processes that reduce pollution * Modified glassmaking furnaces that decrease pollution * Non-chlorine pulp bleaching sequences that curtail production of toxic substances such as dioxin * Secondary fiber utilization and reduction of PCB emissions * Resource recovery from sludges and ashes * Chemical spill containment and cleanup * Uses of degradation and recycling to reduce plastics waste Coverage of the impact of U.S. regulations, status of the U.S. environment, continuing problems, economic costs, and cost-benefit issues further increases the value of this source to environmental engineers and scientists working for the EPA, state regulatory agencies, or consulting engineering firms. This guide is also a vital reference for environmentalists working with advocacy groups, and environmental or process engineers in industry.

Presents current methods for controlling air pollution generated at stationary industrial sources and provides complete coverage of control options, equipment and techniques. The main focus of the book is on practical solutions to air pollution problems.

Concentrates on the wider industrial considerations, the key business and technology drivers which govern the way industry responds to the demands for ever lower emissions. It illustrates how industry can formulate policy through techniques such as Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control.

USA. Handbook designed to help industry meet its environmental protection obligations in respect of pollution control of industrial waste disposal - covers research programmes for air pollution and water pollution control, equipment and costs examines control methods in the iron and steel industry, the metalworking industry, the pulp and pulp and paper industry, the chemical industry, the food industry, the textile industry, etc., and comments on relevant federal and state legislation. Diagrams, illustrations and statistical tables.

This book gives a detailed, in-depth and updated study of pollution management, intended primarily for the students of environmental science, chemical engineers, industrial chemists and researchers.The text has been reinforced throughout by diagrams, figu
