Publisher:Royal Society of Chemistry | 1999-10 | ISBN: 0854042504 | Pages: 135 | PDF | 2 Mb




A popular image of the power generation industry is one of chimney stacks
belching out fumes from the combustion of fossil fuels, causing pollution of the
atmosphere and contamination of land and water. To what extent has this poor
image been justified in the past, and what is happening today to improve matters?
What performance standards does the industry achieve? And what about effects
such as those associated with high voltage overhead power lines, and worries
about nuclear power stations? Answers to these and other such questions are
provided by this book.
