Strategies for Arable Soil Pollution Prevention and Control

Disclosure Strategies for Pollution Control

Disclosure strategies, which involve public and/or private attempts to increase the availability of information on pollution, form the basis for what some have called the third wave in pollution control policy (after legal regulation – the first wave – and market-based instruments – the second wave). While these strategies have become common in natural resource settings (forest certification an...

Predesign for Pollution Prevention and Control

CEP June 2007 www.aiche.org/cep 53 During the past few decades, pollution prevention and control has assumed a prominent role in the chemical engineering profession. Its study has become part of chemical engineering curricula throughout the world, and a new section on waste treatment has been added to “Perry’s Chemical Engineers’ Handbook.” The major responsibility for an operating plant’s clea...

Soil and Water Conservation Zones for Pollution Control

This paper reports the preliminary results obtained from an FAO/IAEA coordinated research project (CRP) involving eight countries. Results obtained are discussed with respect to sources and sinks of water and nutrients in water conservation zones that help farmers to use water when it is required. Three types of water conservation zones, namely farm ponds, wetlands and riparian buffer zones wer...

Sulfur Oxides: Pollution Prevention and Control

Traditionally, measures designed to reduce localized ground-level concentrations of sulfur oxides (SOx) used high-level dispersion. Although these measures reduced localized health impacts, it is now realized that sulfur compounds travel long distances in the upper atmosphere and can cause damage far from the original source. Therefore the objective must be to reduce total emissions. The extent...
