Hester R.E., Harrison R.M. (eds.) Waste Treatment and Disposal

RSC. 1995. 161 p.The protection of the environment is our responsibility, whether we are a member of the public as a citizen or consumer or as an industrialist producing consumer products, or as a part of Government, either in setting environmental policy or in regulating environmental pollution. Concern for the environment and both national and international regulations will continue to put pressure on industries to minimize their impact on the environment. There are great business opportunities for companies to supply and adopt cleaner technologies and more environmentally friendly techniques. There are challenges to be met in developing new products and processes that are more e¦cient and produce less waste. There are savings to be made in avoiding the increasing costs of environmentally acceptable waste disposal. There are further opportunities. New technologies can bring together the beneÞts of greater e¦ciency, less pollution, and a minimizing of impact on the environment as a whole. Maintaining the status quo is not acceptable.Integrated Pollution Control and Waste Minimization.
