The past 30 years have seen the emergence of a growing desire
worldwide to take positive actions to restore and protect the
environment from the degrading effects of all forms of pollution:
air, noise, solid waste, and water. Because pollution is a direct
or indirect consequence of waste, the seemingly idealistic demand
for "zero discharge" can be construed as an unrealistic demand for
zero waste. However, as long as waste exists, 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 identified: (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?
The principal intention of the Handbook of Environmental
Engineering series is to help readers formulate answers to the last
two questions. The traditional approach of applying tried-and-true
solutions to specific pollution pr- lems 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 c- trol. " However, realization of the
ever-increasing complexity and interrelated nature of current
environmental problems makes it imperative that intelligent
planning of pollution abatement systems be undertaken.
