Handbook of Solvents, Volume Two: Use, Health, and Environment, Third Edition, contains the most comprehensive information ever published on solvents and an extensive analysis of the principles of solvent selection and use. The book is intended to help formulators select ideal solvents, safety coordinators protect workers, and legislators and inspectors define and implement public safeguards on solvent usage, handling and disposal. The book begins with a discussion of solvent use in over 30 industries, which are the main consumers of solvents. The analysis is conducted based on available data and contains information on the types of solvents used and potential problems and solutions. In addition, the possibilities for solvent substitution are also discussed, with an emphasis on supercritical solvents, ionic liquids, ionic melts, and agriculture-based products. - Assists in solvent selection by providing key information and insight on environmental and safety issues - Provides essential best practice guidance for human health considerations - Discusses the latest advances and trends in solvent technology, including modern methods of cleaning contaminated soils, selection of gloves, suits and respirators

Guidebook to reducing pollution at the industrial/ manufacturing source. Emphasizes techniques for: metals coating, metals degreasing, office equipment, chemical manufacturing, printing, textiles dye and dyeing, and pulp and paper industries. The objective of this monograph is to identify technical opportunities within a number of selected industries and/or manufacturing/finishing processes, to reduce pollution. These industries/processes were selected as representative of and applicable to the broad range of U.S. manufacturing businesses.

The conclusion in 1985 of the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer, followed in 1987 by the Montreal Protocol on Substances operation for the protection of the ozone layer in the stratosphere. The two meetings held by the Parties to the Vienna Convention in 1989 and 1991 and the four meetings by the Parties yo the Montreal Protocol every year from 1989 to 1992 led to significant decisions designed to implement the objectives of the Convention and Protocol. The second and fourth meetings of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol adopted certain adustments and reductions of production and consumption of the controlled substances listed in Annexes A and B of the Protocol and two amendements to the Protocol in accordance with the procedure laid down in par. 4 of art. 9 of the Vienna Convention.

'Imagine the pride of earning the Nobel Prize for warning that CFCs were destroying the ozone layer. Then imagine that citizens, policymakers, and business executives heeded the warning and transformed markets to protect the earth. This book is the story of why we can all be optimistic about the future if we are willing to be brave and dedicated world citizens.' MARIO MOLINA, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry and Professor, University of California This book tells how the Montreal Protocol, the most successful global environmental agreement so far, stimulated the development and worldwide transfer of technologies to protect the ozone layer.Technology transfer is the crux of the 230 international environmental treaties and is essential to fighting climate change. While debate rages about obstacles to technology transfer, until now there has been no comprehensive assessment of what actually works to remove the obstacles. The authors, leaders in the field, assess over 1000 technology transfer projects funded under the Montreal Protocol‘s Multilateral Fund and the Global Environment Facility, and identify lessons that can be applied to technology transfer for climate change.
