---Environmental Pollution

". . .a useful volume on the environmental needs of the fertilizer industry. It is wide-ranging and should have a place in the libraries of fertilizer companies and research organisations. "

---Biofouling From the Foreword. . .

". . .Never has such a book been written from an environmental perspective. . . I commend this book to anyone associated with mining, production, and marketing of fertilizer--from the CEO to the plant operator and the environmentalist. All will benefit greatly from its insights. "

From the Publisher

A comprehensive evaluation of the environmental polluting potential of fertilizer production processes. The fertilizer industry is approached on the basis of major end-products and by-products from the point of view of environmental pollutants of the atmosphere, water, and soil. The volume presents solutions capable of eliminating or diminishing pollution and covers methods of converting effluents and by-products to useful products where possible. The latest environmental protection technology is presented in a manner that can be used in planning, renovation, or operation of facilities, and in the remediation of discontinued facilities.
