The unique feature of this book is that on one hand it covers the science and technology of pollution and its control ? Material which is needed by students at UG as well as PG levels to excel in their curricular work ? While, simultaneously, it keeps pointing at the societal and attitudinal problems which are making it impossible to develop cleanly. Reading the book makes one realize, time and again, how feeble is the ‘power’ of technology to achieve ‘clean production’.
