Abstract
Industry involves thousands of products and production processes, resulting in a decentralized enterprise system. Technical progress toward pollution prevention is likewise decentralized, since it is driven by economic consideration, and frequently specific to one of thousands of different industrial processes. Current pollution prevention technology generally employs conventional engineering approaches. Even as priority shifts from treatment and control to prevention, engineers will still employ available technology at first to achieve their objectives. In the future, however, designs will become more innovative for the environment.
