Preface
Air pollution is a disquieting phenomenon affecting the quality of life
as well as presenting health and risk problems to communities at large.
A widespread commitment to control it has been made by both regulators
and those responsible for air pollution. The most prominent sources of
stationary emissions are the power generating and manufacturing
industries.
In order to succeed in controlling air pollution regardless of its source,
a commitment to sound engineering practices and economics as well as
familiarity with the control options is required. This book addresses the
major control options and tools that may be used in solving industrial air
pollution problems. Identified are the major elements for air pollution
control for industry.
This volume is dedicated entirely to the practical understanding and
control of industrial air pollution problems. As such it should be useful
to engineers, scientists, and managers, as well as regulators. The book

IV Preface
stresses practical solutions and is based on an earlier volume {Air
Pollution Control and Design Handbook, Parts 1 and 2, published in
1977 by Marcel Dekker, Inc. and edited by myself and Richard A.
Young). These volumes have been brought up-to-date with revisions
required by the practitioner. The need for this information has not
diminished but rather increased. With this in mind, this new and revised
work has been produced.
