Industrial Wastewaters

Published February 1991

Industrial development is a necessary element in any nation's economic growth but it is vital that the potential environmental problems are considered at the same time. In East African countries the opportunity exists to learn from the mistakes made by other industrialized countries before embarking on their own programme of industrialization. 127 delegates from 19 countries assembled in Nairobi to discuss the environmental, technical and economic aspects of industrial wastewater management. Topics presented in this volume also include legal-regulatory frameworks for tackling pollution and examining key industries in the region and appropriate treatment technologies.
