The book is well-balanced in its treatment of topics. The first part of the course covers issues regarding the various definitions of the term "pollution prevention", the extent to which data are available from different sources as well the issue of life cycle analysis. The treatment adopted in the book exposes the reader to several "ideologies" and one is amazed by the extent to which the authors have worked hard to collect data from as many sources as has been done by them-- clearly a herculean task.
The second part of the book covers: unit operations and processes and the different aspects of pollution prevention in these operations; primary, secondary and fugitive emissions from industrial and chemical plants. A large number of problems are given and many solutions are provided. Readers who are not familiar with the unit operations and processes will have enough materials for the purpose of self-study.
The last part of the book covers topics that would be of interest to engineers who wish to learn problem-solving skills on topics related to large chemical or industrials, or parts of these plants. The open-ended problems in Chapter 10 are excellent and should be a source of ideas for instructors who wish to assign open-ended problems, as is encouraged by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Teachnology. These problems could stimulate classroom discussions or discussions within student groups.
Overall , the book is a a "must-read" for all engineers and scientists who wish to learn about the heart-and-soul of pollution prevention within industry. The author is an engineering Professor who has used this book and has seen colleagues at other Universities use it with excellent results.
