As the field of environmental management moves into the future, its
focus will be on reducing or eliminating waste pollution streams.
Engineers, technicians, and maintenance personnel must develop
proficiency and improved understanding of pollution prevention and
waste control to cope with the challenges of this important area.
Pollution Prevention: The Waste Management Approach to the 21st
Century covers - in a thorough and clear style - the fundamentals
of pollution prevention and their application to real-world
problems. The book is divided into three parts: Process and Plant
Fundamentals, Pollution Prevention Principles, and Pollution
Prevention Applications. Part one examines the general subject of
process and plant fundamentals, equipment and calculation, process
diagrams and economic considerations. Part two covers the broad
subject of pollution prevention options, including chapters on
source reduction, recycling, treatment methods, and ultimate
disposal. Part three contains chapters devoted to specific
industrial applications involving pollution prevention. The text is
generously supplemented with illustrative examples. Applying
pollution prevention strategies - the most viable environmental
management option of the future - offers a more cost-effective
means of minimizing the generation of waste. Pollution Prevention:
The Waste Management Approach to the 21st Century provides the
basic principles required for understanding not only pollution
prevention but also waste control.
This timely new workbook is the result of a year-long effort by a
group of university professors who first met at Montana Tech during
the summer of 1994 for a college faculty workshop. The workshop was
funded by the National Science Foundation's support for those
faculty developing courses in the newly emerging field of air
toxics. Part I of the book contains over 100 problems dealing with
a variety of topics in this area. Part II provides detailed
solutions. The problems and solutions provided will become a useful
resource for the training of engineers and scientists who are or
soon will be working in the field.

group of university professors who first met a Montana Tech during
the summer of 1994 for a college faculty workshop. The workshop was
funded by the National Science Foundation's Undergraduate Faculty
Enhancement Program, and its purpose was to develop a workbook that
would provide the needed support for those faculty developing
courses in the newly emerging field of air toxics. Part 1 contains
more than 100 problems dealing with a variety of topics in this
area. Part 2 provides detailed solutions. The problems and

This new edition has been revised throughout, and adds several
sections, including: lean manufacturing and design for the
environment, low impact development and green infrastructure, green
science and engineering, and sustainability. It presents strategies
to reduce waste from the source of materials development through to
recycling, and examines the basic concepts of the physical,
chemical, and biological properties of different pollutants. It
includes case studies from several industries, such as
pharmaceuticals, pesticides, metals, electronics, petrochemicals,
refineries, and more. It also addresses the economic considerations
for each pollution prevention approach.
