About The Book
In the past few years we have seen the emergence growing demand, widespread desire in our country and indeed everywhere, that positive action is required to be taken to restore the quality of our environment for survival to protect it from the degrading effects of all forms of pollution-air, water, noise, solid waste (Electronic, Nuclear etc). Since the seemingly idealistic demand for “zero discharge” can be construed as a demand for zero waste. However, as long as there is waste, we can only attempt to abate the consequent pollution by converting it to a less noxious form. In those instances, in which a particular type of pollution has been recognized, three major questions usually arise; how serious is the pollution? Is the technology to abate it available? and Do the costs of abatement justify the degree of abatement achieved ? The principal objectives of this book on Pollution Abatement and Control will be helpful in formulating the useful answers to these questions and to examine the benefits that could accrue to the society form abatement of pollution; otherwise nature has its own plans.
