Writing for engineers working in the area of air pollution control systems, Cooper (U. of Central Florida) and Alley (emeritus, Clemson U.) present a textbook describing the philosophy and procedures for systems design. The primary purpose of the text is to aid in formal design training, although general foundational information on air pollution and its control does provide the background for the former. Chapters cover process design, particulate matter, cyclones, electrostatic precipitators, fabric filters, particulate scrubbers, auxiliary equipment, properties of gases and vapors, VOC incinerators, gas adsorption and absorption, biological controls, atmospheric dispersion modeling, and indoor air quality and control. The CD-ROM contains solutions to exercises from the text. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
