Abstract

There are many areas of the chemical industry that must be controlled to avoid ill effects on health and the environment. Throughout this book we have tried to stress individual pollution-related problems. The details of these topics can be found in various chapters. A list of these subjects already discussed is given in Table 25.1. You may wish to review these topics at this time.
