Industrial Pollution Prevention Handbook
by Harry M. Freeman
Don't Clean Up Pollutants--Prevent them Why conduct expensive clean ups when you can
drasticaly reduce pollutants by improving management, boosting efficiency,
eliminating toxins from your production process, or modifying product design.
In the Industrial Pollution Prevention Handbook, Harry Freeman of the EPA's
Risk Reduction Engineering Lab, gives you a step-by-step pollution prevention (P2)
program plus case histories that show how to implement it in 16 different industries.
You'll see how to:
- Integrate P2 into your TQM program
- Conduct risk analysis to set P2 priorities
- Measure P2 progress
- Use Total Cost Assessment to prove the profitability of P2 programs and
win management support
- Apply P2 to the electronics, chemical, petroleum, metal fabrication, textile,
paper, pharmaceutical, auto, electroplating, and furniture industries
- plus much more
