About the Book

Air Pollution Control: A Design Approach (4th Edition) continues a 25-year tradition of excellence as a trusted textbook for environmental and engineering students. Written in clear and authoritative language, the book presents both the philosophy and systematic procedures required for the design of air pollution control systems.

The primary objective of this edition is twofold: to provide comprehensive knowledge of air pollution and its control strategies, and to deliver structured design training for engineering students. The fourth edition introduces a significant new chapter dedicated to carbon dioxide control — one of the most pressing global environmental challenges. It emphasizes methods for reducing CO₂ emissions and explores advanced technologies for carbon capture and sequestration.

The book also expands its discussion on control technologies for coal-fired power plants, including detailed treatment of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and mercury emission capture. All chapters have been thoroughly revised to incorporate the latest data on air quality trends, regulatory standards, and updated cost-estimation equations for pollution control equipment.

Richly supported with illustrations, worked examples, and end-of-chapter problems, this edition strengthens conceptual understanding while enhancing analytical and problem-solving skills. It remains an essential academic and professional resource for students and practitioners in environmental engineering, life sciences, and pollution control disciplines.
