Preface

The inexorable growth in the scale of industrial production has resulted in the inexorable growth in environmental pollution worldwide. Although pollution control has improved in environmental quality to a certain extent, but in general, it not only fails tp eliminate pollutants but also often transfers them from one medium to another.

It seeks to establish a society oriented approach towards sustainable development by encouraging society to prevent pollution so as not to waste our natural resources. This book is conceived as a reference and a training textbook for those who are interested in and responsible for pollution prevention. It will help readers understand the principles and practices of industrial pollution prevention with guidelines for pollution prevention projects and explanations of the benefits of pollution prevention. This book suggests ways to conduct pollution prevention feasibility analyses and to establish and implement pollution prevention programs; illust
