This brochure has been reprinted and is recommended to students of air pollution (1) It proposes means of air pollution control that are still viable in the twentieth century The principal industries associated with the production of air pollution in the centuries preceding the Industrial Revolution were metallurgy, ceramics, and preservation of animal products In the bronze and iron ages, villages were... the introduction of physical and chemical principles into process design 8 1 The History of Air Pollution Fig 1-4 Engraving (1876) of a metal foundry refining department in the industrial Saar region of West Germany Source: The Bettmann Archive, Inc III THE TWENTIETH CENTURY A 1900-1925 During the period 1900-1925 there were great changes in the technology of both the production of air pollution and... the meteorology of air pollution, and the book as a whole may be used for an intensive one-semester course The viewpoint of this book is first that most of the students who elect to receive some training in air pollution will have previously taken courses in chemistry at the high school or university level, and that those few who have not would be well advised to defer the study of air pollution until . concepts, such as control of air toxics, indoor air pollution, pollution prevention, and trading and bank- ing of emission rights.
