Customer Reviews

One of the standards in the AP field

Got the 2nd ed for $0.79 rather than the 3rd for ~$100. I realize many years have passed but as far as the techniques of AP control, the fundamentals remain the same. There might be much greater awareness of greenhouse gases and ozone, with stricter regulations but the chemistry and engineering behind the control of tropospheric NOX and SOX, along with PM and VOC have not change.

An excellent intoductory book

I used this book for a class, we also use e Sienfeld and Padis, but for people like me that are not chemical engineers, this book is an excellent introductory book in the science of air pollution and control. It doen't go as deep as Seinfeld in chemical kinetics, and it just reviews some equipment for the control of these pollutants,but I found it great for starters like me
