520    Book Description:  Encyclopedia of Pollution is a new, two
       -volume color set designed to address all aspects of 
       pollution and the global impact on the environment in a 
       single source.  Containing more than 300 entries and 
       essays interspersed throughout, it uses the most current 
       scientific data to explain the different types of 
       pollutants including properties, production, uses, 
       environmental release and fate, adverse health response to
       exposure, and environmental regulations on human exposure.
       It provides the scientific background on the water, soil, 
       and air of environments where the pollutants are released.
       Coverage also includes pollution regulation, the function 
       of federal regulatory agencies and environmental advocacy 
       groups, and the technology and methods to reduce pollution
       and to remediate existing pollution problems.  Numerous 
       case studies explore the most infamous of pollution events
       such as the Exxon Valdez oil spill, the Gulf Storm oil 
       well fires, the Chernobyl disaster, Hurricane Katrina, the
       World Trade Center disaster, and the Love Canal in New 
       York, among many others including those that had great 
       impact on legislation or that were used in popular media 
       such as the films Erin Brockovich and A Civil Action.  
       Biographies are provided of some of the leaders and 
       pioneers of pollution study and activism.  Other useful 
       features include a detailed glossary, indexes, a timeline,
       and tables.
