Ever since the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1970, there has been a huge amount of legislation and regulation around the environment. Today, these laws and regulations present a complex and often bewildering set of compliance requirements for public and private facilities, both existing and proposed. Professionals involved in environmental concerns, and even those that are peripherally involved, must have an understanding of these laws and regulations and how to provide the detailed, technical information regarding the pollutants they discharge into the environment. Environmental Regulatory Calculations Handbook provides just such information, in simple, understandable terms. Beginning with an overview of the history of environmental regulation and the current regulatory framework, the Handbook provides sections on each of the key laws and regulations, including: Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, Superfund, Toxic Substances Control Act, Occupational Safety and Health Act, and Pollution Prevention Act.
Features include:
- More than 300 stand-alone examples of how to perform essential calculations on pollutant emissions
- Examples addressing key regulatory issues
- Appendices on international regulations and ISO 14000
The diverse examples address typical problems and can be adapted to calculate information in actual situations. This will be the core hands-on reference for practitioners in environmental training and consulting firms, as well as environmental managers and engineers in industry.
