In the equation, the atoms that are actually needed to form the desired product are shown in boldface.) The atoms that are not directly involved in the formation of the product and are, therefore, "wasted atoms are shown in regular print. These atoms are regarded as "wasted because, once the desired product is formed, they must be disposed of in some way. In this particular example, the final by-products, sodium bisulfate and water, are relatively harmless and cause no threat to the environment. But many chemical reactions result in hazardous chemicals that do pose a threat to the health of plants and animals and that do, therefore, become factors in air and water pollution and waste management issues. [Pg.186]

Tables 27-1 to 27-3 have concentrated on the personnel makeup of control agencies. For a broader look at places of employment. Table 27-4 shows where 8037 members of the Air Pollution Control Association (APCA) of the United States and Canada worked in 1982. (This list includes foreign as well as domestic members of APCA but does not include the membership of the air pollution control associations of other countries.) This table shows that only 10.7% of the members work in control agencies. This table gives a somewhat distorted picture because in many air pollution organizations only the senior executive, professional, and scientific personnel belong to APCA, whereas the total North American workforce in air pollution includes several times the 8037 membership total who are in junior, technical, service, or manual sectors and are not association members. These numbers could be still greater if those engaged in this work outside North America were included. The Air Pollution Control Association changed its name to the Air and Waste Management Association in 1988. The Air and Waste Management Association had a membership of over 14,000 in 1993, but only a portion of the members were active in the air pollution profession.

IE provides a foundation for sustainable industrialization, not just incremental improvement in environmental management. The objectives of IE suggest a potential for reindustrialization in economies that have lost major components of their industrial base. Specifically, the objective of industrial ecology is not merely to reduce pollution and waste as traditionally conceived, it is to reduce throughput of all kinds of materials and fuels, whether they leave a site as products, emissions, or waste. [Pg.4]

Environmental Chemistry can also be applied to treat wastes, and to prevent and reduce the impact of certain discharges into the environment. A basic knowledge of chemistry will allow for a more-detailed understanding of processes such as water and wastewater treatment, air pollution control, and waste management. [Pg.10]

Evaluahng the economics of cleaner produchon inihahves is complicated by a number of uncertainties related to realistic accounting for internal and external costs associated with pollution, waste minimizahon, waste treatment, and waste management. Environmentally driven initiatives must sahsfy both environmental and economic criteria to be sustainable. [Pg.78]
