Description:
The catalog was developed to aid in defining the environmental impacts of U.S. industrial activity. Entries for each industry are in consistent format and form separate chapters of the catalog. Chapter 1 is an introduction to the catalog and identifies a number of expected uses for the information contained in the various chapters. It explains the approach to catalog development, as well as the basic catalog format. It provides examples of typical information to be found in subsequent chapters, along with definitions for specific catalog nomenclature. It presents plans for future programs for the assessment of industrial processes and their impact on the environment.
