"...a fine reference for anyone needing essential information on the sources of, and methods for treating, industrial wastewater." --Chemical Engineering "This book motivates readers to handle pollution control both prudently and creatively. It is an essential reference for managers, engineers, scientists, and operators." --Sandeep Y. Bodkhe, in Water Environment and Technology "Waste treatment engineers can now stop tearing their hair, or at least tug at it less violently. This guide takes them step by step through the complex and various stages of their tasks ... The chapter on laws and regulations, that pesky, ever changing plethora of demands often the cause of the engineer's grief. This is laid out clearly and with avuncular understanding. With the experience of Woodard and Curran behind the book, we can rest assured that the guidance in this huge reference guide is timely." --U.S. Water News, October 1, 2006
