Friedlander, S K

The role of engineers in the design of environmentally compatible products and industrial plants is discussed. Research is needed in the fields of waste reduction, development of biodegradable plastics, and in the reduction of particulate emissions by modification of particle size of pulverized coal. It is recommended that pollution control concepts be included in the normal engineering curricula of the separate disciplines and that selection and design of manufacturing processes and products include environmental constraints right from the start.
