Air
Pollution Engineering Manual by Wayne T. Davis
(Editor), Air, Waste Management Association
Partially underwritten by the Environmental Protection
Agency, this manual provides industry and government professionals with
the guidelines needed to comply with recent air pollution standards and
regulations. Leading experts in air pollution control describe control
equipment used for gases and particulates including operation, design
principles, cost-effectiveness, and performance record. The authors
explain the different processes that generate air pollutants as well as
the types of emissions covering most of the industries affected by the
Clean Air Act.
The definitive resource for information on air
pollution emission sources and the technology available to control them.
The Air Pollution Engineering Manual has long been
recognized as an important source of information on air pollution
control issues for industries affected by the Clean Air Act and
regulations in other countries. Thoroughly updated to reflect the latest
emission factors and control measures for reducing air pollutants, this
new edition provides industry and government professionals with the
fundamental, technological, and regulatory information they need for
compliance with the most recent air pollution standards. Contributing
experts from diverse fields discuss the different processes that
generate air pollution, equipment used with all types of gases and
particulate matter, and emissions control for areas ranging from graphic
arts and chemical processes to the metallurgical industry. More than 500
detailed flowcharts and photographs as well as an extensive listing of
Internet resources accompany coverage of Biological air pollution
control, including biofilters and bioscrubbers, emissions from wood
processing, brick and ceramic product manufacturing, pharmaceutical
manufacturing, numerous other industrial processes, fugitive emissions,
internal combustion sources, and evaporative losses, water and
wastewater treatment plant emissions, changes in emission factors for
each source category, including particle size factors related to PM10
and PM2.5 standards, updated MACT regulations and technologies and much
more.
The Air and Waste Management Association is the
world's leading membership organization for environmental professionals.
The Association enhances the knowledge and competency of environmental
professionals by providing a neutral forum for technology exchange,
professional development, networking opportunities, public education,
and outreach events. The Air & Waste Management Association promotes
global environmental responsibility and increases the effectiveness of
organizations and individuals in making critical decisions that benefit
society.
