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
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.
The Pollution Prevention Handbook provides the necessary tools to set up a successful pollution program; implement specific projects to meet environmental regulation, and improve efficiency and product quality. Methods used to reduce waste generation are illustrated, and new treatment methods to reduce the volume or toxicity of waste are described. Practical examples illustrate key concepts, and numerous case studies provide successful programs found in the real world. The text is divided into three major sections:
A comprehensive overview of pollution prevention in the U.S. Begins by explaining what pollution prevention is, the EPA's strategies and research programs, and research priorities. Identifies priority environmental problems and discusses problem-specific research on such subjects as indoor air pollutants, pesticides, ozone depleting substances, and more. Covers the importance of research programs and the tools used to implement them. Many diagrams. Extensive bibliography.
"All projects described in this report were funded by section 319 of the Clean Water Act. They range from information and educational programs to highly technical applications of nonpoint source control technology ... The success stories in this report represent one or two projects from each state -- this is only a portion of the nonpoint source projects and occurring in the states. Also, the stories may reflect only a portion of the total project effort for which funds are awarded."--Page 4
