The past 30 years have seen the emergence of a growing desire
worldwide that positive actions be taken to restore and protect the
environment from the degrading effects of all forms of pollution -
air, water, soil, and noise. Since pollution is a direct or
indirect consequence of waste production, the seemingly idealistic
demand for "zero discharge" can be construed as an unrealistic
demand for zero waste. However, as long as waste continues to
exist, we can only attempt to abate the subsequent pollution by
converting it to a less noxious form. Three major questions usually
arise when a particular type of pollution has been identi ed: (1)
How serious is the pollution? (2) Is the technology to abate it
available? and (3) Do the costs of abatement justify the degree of
abatement achieved? This book is one of the volumes of the Handbook
of Environmental Engineering series. The principal intention of
this series is to help readers formulate answers to the last two
questions above. The traditional approach of applying
tried-and-true solutions to speci c pollution problems has been a
major contributing factor to the success of environmental
engineering, and has accounted in large measure for the
establishment of a "methodology of pollution control. " However,
the realization of the ever-increasing complexity and interrelated
nature of current environmental problems renders it imperative that
intelligent planning of pollution abatement systems be undertaken.
