The book "Industrial Pollution Prevention" by Thomas T. Shen offers a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and solutions in the field of industrial environmental pollution. It highlights the necessity of sustainable economic development, particularly in developing countries, and discusses the role of industry in this context. The work identifies three generations of pollution problems associated with industrial production: from manufacturing to usage and finally to disposal of products. It demonstrates that traditional approaches to combating pollution are often inadequate and that a deeper engagement with the causes and solutions is necessary to effectively reduce environmental burdens. The book is aimed at professionals and students who are concerned with environmental management and sustainable industrial development.
