Identifies sources and source control measures, including best management practices (BMPs), recovery methods and other treatment methods. 86 pages. Soft cover.

United States Environmental Protection Agency Publications

Industry Sector Notebooks
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed a series of industry sector notebooks on selected major industries. These notebooks, which focus on key indicators that holistically present air, water and land pollutant release data, have been thoroughly reviewed by experts from both inside and outside the EPA. Each Notebook brings comprehensive, well-researched details gathered for the first time in a single source and includes:

• Comprehensive environmental profile
• Industrial process information
• Pollution prevention techniques
• Pollutant release data
• Regulatory requirements
• Description of research methodology
• Compliance/enforcement history
• Government and industry partnerships
• Innovative programs
• Contact names
• Bibliographic references
