Assessment and Control of VOC Emissions from Waste Treatment and
Disposal Facilities Thomas T. Shen, Ph.D., Charles Schmidt, Ph.D.,
and Thomas Card The complications surrounding Volatile Organic
Compound (VOC) emissions have emerged as a matter of increasing
environmental attention and concern, due largely to the huge
quantities involved, their known toxicity, and their suspected
carcinogenicity. Assessment and Control of VOC Emissions from Waste
Treatment and Disposal Facilities is the first book to both
thoroughly explore the topic and present the entire range of
environmentally and economically viable solutions. The authors
address the most recent developments, the newest applications, and
the latest methodological advances in the field. The book includes
sections on:
- waste characterizations, such as vapor pressure, solubility,
molecular weights, and more
- emission mechanisms including volatilization, hydrolysis,
photodecomposition, biodegradation, and incineration
- various types of VOC emission sources
- the latest regulatory information on The Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA), The Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), and the Clean Air Act
(CAA)
- the entire range of measuring and monitoring approaches for
assessing VOC emission rates
- VOC pathway analyses
- toxicity, exposure, and basic information about conducting
health risk assessments
- all available control technologies and their costs
- elaborate, mathematical models and real-life case studies
Assessment and Control of VOC Emissions from Waste Treatment and
Disposal Facilities is ideal as both a reference and a training
text for regulatoryengineers, facility environmental managers, and
anyone involved in atmospheric sciences. This field-guide and
teaching text is invaluable to a wide cross-section of
professionals, educators, and students in the chemical, petroleum,
and environmental regulatory communities.
