This addition to the Advances in Environmental Control Technology Series contains 23 chapters designed to provide an extensive overview and reference on human physiological responses to various forms of pollution.

This book examines the treatability of hazardous wastes by different physicochemical treatment processes according to the Quantitative Structure and Activity Relationship (QSAR) between kinetic rate constants and molecular descriptors. The author explores how to use these models to select treatment processes according to the molecular structure of

Contributors present case studies and research findings in connection with both technical and nontechnical recycling issues (e.g. economic viability) in a variety of industries, including paper processing, steel can manufacturing, and agriculture. Chapters on such topics as reducing air emission of solvents from metal cleaning focus on how to re-engineer production lines for increased efficiency and less waste production. Others report on new technologies that make use of waste products like coal flyash, gypsum, and contaminated soil. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
