Summary

This one-step guide covers all the critical detals of the 1990 Clean Air Act: How to comply with applications and reporting requirements under Title V, and how to select and size air pollution control equipment to meet the new federal standards and regulations. The authors, experts in the field of pollution control, start with an overview of air pollution control management, discuss the sources and effects of air pollution and its effects on the environment, and explain the available pollution treatment and control technologies. Air-moving, vapor, and particulate control equipment are included, and the book goes through all aspects of pollution control.
