"This book explain why industrial environmental management is important to human environmental interactions and what are the physical, economic, social and technological constraints to achieving the goal of a sustainable environment. Its goal is to educate engineers on how to obtain an optimum balance between environmental protections, while allowing humans to maintain an acceptable quality of life. This book is designed to be a textbook primarily for junior level and senior level students in multidisciplinary engineering fields including but not limited to: chemical, civil, environmental and petroleum engineering but will also have some appeal to practicing engineers seeking information about sustainable design principles and methodology. It covers topics such as, industrial wastes, life cycle sustainable design, lean manufacturing, international environmental regulations, assessment and management of health and environmental risks, the economics of manufacturing pollution prevention, how eco-industrial parks and process intensification will help minimize waste, applying green manufacturing principles in order to minimize wastes and discharges from manufacturing facilities."
