Industrial Pollution Control Handbook [antikvár]

Foreword by Senator Edmund S. Muskie Public concern over environmental pollution is increasing at a geometric rate. The concern stems from an awareness of the threats to health and welfare from the wastes of our society; it leads inevitably to pressure on industry to reduce the discharge of contaminants into the air and public waterways. The central question in pollution abatement is no longer whether; it is how. The "Industrial Pollution Control Handbook" is designed to answer the question of how best to reduce waste discharges with the latest technology. It should provide a major contribution to the dissemination of control techniques and the encouragement of sound corporate decisions in waste management. The implementation of an effective environmental improvement program depends on the coordinated efforts of the general public, government, and private industry. I am encouraged by the publication of this Handbook as evidence of private industry's growing awareness of the need to reduce waste discharges as a contribution to societal health and as a sound business practice.
