Annotation: Industrial ecology, a relatively new concept, seeks to treat industrial systems in a manner similar to ecological systems in nature. The author of Lewis Publishers' widely adopted Environmental Chemistry (L1088) examines this innovative technology, using an overall framework of industrial ecology to cover hazardous wastes from an environmental chemistry perspective. The first seven chapters focus on environmental science and technology, and industrial ecology. Subsequent chapters deal specifically with hazardous substances and hazardous waste, as they relate to industrial ecology and environmental chemistry

Publisher Description:

Industrial ecology may be a relatively new concept - yet it's already proven instrumental for solving a wide variety of problems involving pollution and hazardous waste, especially where available material resources have been limited.
By treating industrial systems in a manner that parallels ecological systems in nature, industrial ecology provides a substantial addition to the technologies of environmental chemistry.
Stanley E. Manahan, bestselling author of many environmental chemistry books for Lewis Publishers, now examines Industrial Ecology: Environmental Chemistry and Hazardous Waste. His study of this innovative technology uses an overall framework of industrial ecology to cover hazardous wastes from an environmental chemistry perspective.
Chapters one to seven focus on how industrial ecology relates to environmental science and technology, with consideration of the anthrosphere as one of five major environmental spheres. Subsequent chapters deal specifically with hazardous substances and hazardous waste, as they relate to industrial ecology and environmental chemistry.
