It is written by practitioners as a practical guide to emission control. Rafson explicitly states in a few places that although this section does name particular technologies, they are not to be considered as comprehensive nor necessarily prescriptive for all cases. Instead the overall aim of the handbook is to provide a basic level of skills and information to help the scientist or engineer select the appropriate technology. The book is easily navigated with a table of contents to the whole volume, detailed contents at the start of each chapter and a comprehensive index. Illustrations including photos, drawings, tables, graphs and formulae, are clearly presented.
Most chapters end with comprehensive bibliographies and some with additional information resources.
Appendices include a glossary and list of acronyms. Odor and VOC Control Handbook is recommended for libraries which serve the undergraduate disciplines of chemistry, environmental science, and chemical and environmental engineering as well as the professional community. Inc. All rights reserved.
