Written shortly after the passage of the seminal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, the third edition was quite timely. Surprisingly, the text has remained relevant for university professors, engineers, scientists, policy makers and students up to recent years. However, in light of the transition in the last five years from predominantly technology-based standards (maximum achievable control technologies or MACTs) to risk-based regulations and air quality standards, the 606 $aAir$xPollution 615 0$aAir$xPollution. 676 $a628.5/3 22 676 $a628.53 700 $aVallero$b Daniel A$0312864 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911006687603321 996 $aFundamentals of air pollution$92236365 997 $aUNINA
