Abstract
Pollution prevention is a compelling industrial strategy for many reasons. The benefits of industrial pollution prevention are many including economic advantages, reducing liability, improving effectivess, avoiding uncertainty, reducing multi-media transfers of pollutants, resource and energy conservation, and improved images of the industry as described in Chapter 2. Pollution prevention in industrial plants involves good housekeeping, improved operation, process modifications, material substitution, and clean technology (Johansson, 1992).
