Difficult ethical and political issues confront the application of
scientific and technological solutions for preventing pollution
from occurring. Often the questions embodying proposed solutions to
known problems are ambiguous; and no singular solution can exist
for all locations. Yet the common organizing principle for all
solutions to environmental problems must be scientific, because
only sound science can provide a rational understanding that
decision-makers can use universally. The NATO Advanced Research
Workshop (ARW) on Tools and Methods for Pollution Prevention
(October 12-14, 1998, Prague, Czech Republic) was designed to
assemble experts from NATO and former socialist countries of
Eastern Europe to discuss science-based tools and methods, either
available or in development, that can be used to analyze
environmental impacts of manufacturing processes and manufactured
products. The presentations at the workshop were written up
specifically for the purpose of this book, albeit after peer
reviews and thorough revisions. Most of the chapters focus on
specific method development for designing environmentally benign
processes or products. Several chapters take a broader view and
focus on such designs from an implementation perspective, and dwell
on ethical conflicts, resistance to change because of inertia or
inadequate infrastructure, and on the lack of resources. We placed
these chapters at the beginning of the book. The volume starts with
the overview by Sikdar et aI. , who describe the scope and
difficulties of pollution prevention in the manufacturing sectors.
