This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a study of the polluting effluents produced by various trade processes at the turn of the twentieth century. The author examines the nature of these discharges and describes the methods which had been found successful at the time in purifying them. At the time, trade effluents were often discharged into the nearest stream, leading to severe pollution of waterways and rendering them unusable for many purposes. The author describes how this had become a major concern sparking Royal Commissions, the development of special local Acts and the formation of Joint Committees to tackle the issue. The book details the specific challenges and successful purifying methods used for effluents produced by various industries including coal, gas, grain, paper, leather, textiles, and others.
