Softcover. Etat : Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. Difficult ethical and political issues arise when applying scientific and technological solutions to prevent pollution. Proposed solutions often present ambiguous questions, and no single approach fits all locations. A scientific foundation is essential for all environmental so…lutions, as sound science offers a rational understanding for decision-makers. The NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on Tools and Methods for Pollution Prevention, held from October 12-14, 1998, in Prague, aimed to gather experts from NATO and Eastern Europe to discuss available and developing science-based tools for analyzing the environmental impacts of manufacturing processes and products. The workshop presentations were specifically written for this volume after undergoing peer reviews and revisions. Most chapters focus on developing methods for designing environmentally friendly processes or products. Some chapters adopt a broader perspective, addressing implementation challenges, ethical conflicts, resistance to change due to inertia or inadequate infrastructure, and resource limitations. These broader discussions are placed at the beginning of the book, starting with an overview by Sikdar et al., which outlines the scope and challenges of pollution prevention in manufacturing sectors.

Paperback. Etat : New. Difficult ethical and political issues confront the application of scientific and technological solutions for preventing pollution from occurring. Often the questions embodying proposed solutions to known problems are ambiguous; and no singular solution can exist for all locations. Yet the common organizin…g principle for all solutions to environmental problems must be scientific, because only sound science can provide a rational understanding that decision-makers can use universally. The NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on Tools and Methods for Pollution Prevention (October 12-14, 1998, Prague, Czech Republic) was designed to assemble experts from NATO and former socialist countries of Eastern Europe to discuss science-based tools and methods, either available or in development, that can be used to analyze environmental impacts of manufacturing processes and manufactured products. The presentations at the workshop were written up specifically for the purpose of this book, albeit after peer reviews and thorough revisions. Most of the chapters focus on specific method development for designing environmentally benign processes or products. Several chapters take a broader view and focus on such designs from an implementation perspective, and dwell on ethical conflicts, resistance to change because of inertia or inadequate infrastructure, and on the lack of resources. We placed these chapters at the beginning of the book. The volume starts with the overview by Sikdar et aI. , who describe the scope and difficulties of pollution prevention in the manufacturing sectors. Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1999.

Hardback. Etat : New. 1999 ed. Tools are needed to define, measure and assess pollution in processes and products, to direct and measure improvements in designing cleaner processes and products, and to design benign processes and products. Life cycle assessment, process simulation and integration, material substitution and envir…onmental impact assessment are some of these tools. Advances have been made recently in incorporating environmental criteria in process and product design, some renditions of which are commercially available. This is a compilation of methods, tools and models that can be used to design products and manufacturing processes that prevent pollution from occurring in the first place, rather than treating the wastes after they are formed. There is also a critique of social barriers to pollution prevention.
