A dangerous byproduct of industrial progress is often an increase of pollutants discharged into the environment. These pollutants are often harmful to plants and animals, including humans. They also damage buildings and architectural and cultural monuments. This handbook describes many of the important physico-chemical properties of inorganic and organic substances found in industrial wastes and describes their toxic effects on humans.

First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.

New ceramic materials are highly appreciated due to their manifold features including mechanical properties, environmental uses, energy applications and many more. This work presents the latest research development and covers a broad range of topics from stabilized zirconia ceramics with enhanced functional properties to ceramic components in medical/biological applications.

Most industrial and hazardous waste management resources cover the major industries and provide conventional in-plant pollution control strategies. Until now however, no book or series of books has provided coverage that includes the latest developments in innovative and alternative environmental technology, design criteria, managerial decision met
