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.

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.

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

The book is a collection of in-depth articles on topics most relevant to industry today like Environment Impact Assessment, Cleaner Technologies for Industrial Production, ISO 14001, Hazardous Waste Management, Solid Waste Management, Industrial Sludge Management, Recycling and Utilization of Industrial Waste, Risk Assessment, Noise Pollution etc. A number of chapters deal with Environmental Management in specific industries like foundries, pharmaceuticals industries, coal washeries, lead processing plants etc.

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.

Deals specifically with pollution problems of agro-industries, providing information that can be used to analyze and solve these problems. Presents a general description of the industrial process, the characteristics of the waste products, and the applicable waste treatment methods, including the expected performance and cost of the methods. Part 1 presents general discussions of pollution control approaches and an overview of problems and solutions. Part 2 provides details for making decisions pertaining to preliminary designs and evaluation.

On institutions, nongovernmental organizations, etc. in India.
