Pollution Causes, Effects and Control

In this update of the 1996 edition, Harrison (U. of Birmingham, UK) and the other UK contributors to 21 chapters keep pace with developments in relevant fields. Additions include a chapter on clean technologies and industrial ecology; discussion of microbiological contamination and chemical pollution of water; and greater emphasis on local air quality management, spurred by the UK National Air Quality Strategy (1997). Illustrations include color satellite maps of pollutants. First published in 1983 as a reference for professionals, but also useful as a college text. Price is converted from 35 pounds sterling. c.
