Extract

Society's growing concern over environmental pollution has forced American industry to reevaluate its methods of waste disposal. No longer is it socially acceptable or, in many cases, legal to dump untreated by-products into the air, on the land, or into the rivers. Industries have developed various methods for complying with pollution legislation and social demands. Paramount among the programs now in effect are detoxification facilities and waste recycling programs.
