Air Pollution Control Engineering

Air Pollution Control Engineering edited by Lawrence K. Wang, Norman C. Pereira, Yung-Tse Hung.

Many human activities-and industrial production in particular-produce enormous quantities of wastes and pollution that require the development of major abatement technologies, processes whose implementation and costs must be justified by the degree of abatement achieved. In Air Pollution Control Eng...
