Opis

Filled with case studies that demonstrate the use of pollution prevention principles in process design, this reference details the legal, organizational, hierarchical, and environmental components of pollution prevention and waste reduction. It illustrates fundamental concepts such as life-cycle planning and analysis, risk-based pollution control, and industrial ecology. Written by leading experts in the field, the handbook covers legislative and regulatory policies governing waste management in Europe and the U.S., elements of multi-criteria decision making, techniques to reduce hazardous by-products in the mining, oil, and chemical industries, designing for the environment, and more.
