Pollution prevention and abatement handbook, 1998 : toward cleaner production

"The Pollution Prevention and Abatement Handbook 1998 compiles experience and advice on implementing practical policies, together with industry-specific guidelines for improving performance. It has been prepared by environmental specialists in the World Bank Group, with the support and assistance of a wide range of organizations and individuals, including the United Nations Environment Programme and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, environmental agencies in several countries, and industry groups and associations." "Originally developed to help staff, clients, and consultants prepare and implement operations supported by the Bank Group, this Handbook updates and replaces the Environmental Guidelines issued in 1988 and reflects changes both in technology and in pollution management policies and practices. It focuses attention on the environmental and economic benefits of preventing pollution and emphasizes cleaner production and good management techniques."--Jacket
