See page xSpecial Publication No. 44Pollution: Causes, Effectsand ControlEdited by Roy M. HarrisonThe chapters in this book are in the main derivedfrom the course notes provided by lecturers at anR.S.C. Residential School on this topic held atLancaster University in September, 1982. Thesehave been supplemented by a few additionalcontributions aimed at improving the overallcoverage of this very broad subject area. TheResidential School had a teaching function andthe chapters are pitched at a level appropriate tothis objective.This book will therefore be of value not only toteachers and students but also to scientists andtechnologists working in the field of pollution.Softcover 330pp 0 85186 875 4 Price f12.00CONTENTSThe Control of Industrial Pollution; Water Quality and Health;Aspects of the Chemistry and Analysis of Substances ofConcern in the Water Cycle; The Role of WastewaterTreatment Processes in the Removal of Toxic Pollutants;Sewage and Sewage Sludge Treatment; The chemistry ofMetal Pollutants in Water; Effects of Pollutants in the AquaticEnvironment; Important Air Pollutants and Their ChemicalAnalysis; Pollutant Pathways in the Atmosphere;Atmospheric Dispersal of Pollutants and Modelling of AirPollution; Legislation and the Control of Air Pollution;Catalyst Systems for Emission Control from Motor Vehicles;Evaluating Pollution Effects on Plant Productivity: ACautionary Tale; Epidemics of Non-infectious Disease;Systems Methods in the Evaluation of EnvironmentalPollution Problems; Organometallic Compounds in theEnvironment.($21.00) RSC Members f8.00~ ~~ ~ , RSC members should send their orders to: The Royal Society of Chemistry, The Membership Officer,l 30 Russell Square, London WClB 5DT.Non-RSC members should send their orders to: The RoyalThe Royal Society of ChemistryBurlington HouseLondon W1V OBNI istry, Distribution Centre, Blackhorse Road, Letchworth, Herts SG6 1 HN.
