This is a major new handbook that covers hundreds of subjects that cross numerous industry sectors; however* the handbook is heavily slanted to oil and gas environmental management* control and pollution prevention and energy efficient practices. Multi-media pollution technologies are covered : air* water* solid waste* energy. Students* technicians* practicing engineers* environmental engineers* environmental managers* chemical engineers* petroleum engineers* and environmental attorneys are all professionals who will benefit from this major new reference source.

The handbook is organized in three parts. Part A provides an extensive compilation of abbreviations and concise glossary of pollution control and engineering terminology. More than 400 terms are defined. The section is intended to provide a simple look-up guide to confusing terminology used in the regulatory field* as well as industry jargon. Cross referencing between related definitions and acronyms are provided to assist the user.

Part B provides physical properties and chemical safety information. This part is not intended to be exhaustive; however it does provide supplemental information that is useful to a number of the subject entries covered in the main body of the handbook.

Part C is the Macropedia of Subjects. The part is organized as alphabetical subject entries for a wide range of pollution controls* technologies* pollution prevention practices and tools* computational methods for preparing emission estimates and emission inventories and much more. More than 100 articles have been prepared by the author* providing a concise overview of each subject* supplemented by sample calculation methods and examples where appropriate* and references. Subjects included are organized and presented in a macropedia format to assist a user in gaining an overview of the subject* guidance on performing certain calculations or estimates as in cases pertinent to preliminary sizing and selection of pollution controls or in preparing emissions inventories for reporting purposes* and recommended references materials and web sites for more in-depth information* data or computational tools. Each subject entry provides a working overview of the technology* practice* piece of equipment* regulation* or other relevant issue as it pertains to pollution control and management. Cross referencing between related subjects is included to assist the reader to gain as much of a practical level of knowledge.
