Heavy on application, light on theory
A bit of history on each air pollution technology. The relevant equations, examples and problems. Seems like a pretty good primer to the field. Very light on theory. Our instructor relies on EPA materials and papers from 1938 to compensate.

used but in a really good condition. The book is awesome
This is an ABC book for air pollution control area. It has the most basic but useful rulls and regulations for design like PM control, CO2 control.

Good manual for basic air pollution control principles
Good basic manual for industrial air pollution control. However, this classic book is starting to fall behind as technology in air pollution control advances. Cooper Alley sticks with only the most very fundamental aspects of pollution control. Overall a good manual for the student or engineer, but if you are looking for an introduction to a broad range of controls, a web search might provide better results.

Excellent book
With 40 years of experience as a chemical engineer I wanted a good text on APC control. This one was highly rated. I find it useful for my work and agree with the high ratings. The seller (Dana4022) was also timely and accurate - book's condition was better than rated and delivered in 2 days (standard shipping)!

It's Ok
If this is required for your class, then you don't really have a choice. The solution manual is out there if you can find it. I didn't have it for my class but given the homework scores were near perfect for more than half the class and the questions are difficult, you kinda just know. If you're using this as a desk reference or want to learn about air pollution, I would think there is something better out there. It's not very well written and the examples aren't great. It did have some great tables and good references but that's really about it.

Standard Text for Air Pollution/Air Quality Control Course
Thorough coverage of all major topics. Arrived in excellent condition, although binding has started to separate at one place, allowing pages to slip out. Overall, satisfied customer.

Great reference for PE exam!
I bought this book to have as a reference for the PE environmental exam. This book was one of my main resources during the exam. I would highly recommend buying it and doing practice problems in the back.
