Overview
The number-one environmental threat to public health, air pollution remains a pressing problem-made even more complicated by the massive quantity and diversity of air pollution sources.
Biofiltration technology (using micro-organisms growing on porous media) is being recognized as one of the most advantageous means to convert pollutants to harmless products. Done properly, biofiltration works at a reasonable cost-utilizing inexpensive components, without requiring fuel or generating hazardous by-products.
Firmly established in Europe, biofiltration techniques are being increasingly applied in North America: Biofiltration for Air Pollution Control offers the necessary knowledge to "do it right."

Booknews
Surveys a technology to combatting air pollution that uses micro- organisms growing on porous media, firmly established in Europe and increasingly being applied in North America. Intended as an initial overview for engineers, consultants, researchers, and policymakers, with copious references to more detailed information. Discusses mechanisms, biofilter media, influencing and controlling factors, microbial ecology in biofilters, modeling, design and costs, and startup monitoring. Also provides some case studies and a glossary without pronunciation. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
