This book discusses different aspects of energy consumption and environmental pollution, describing in detail the various pollutants resulting from the utilization of natural resources and their control techniques. It discusses diagnostic techniques in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. It will be useful for engineers, agriculturists, environmentalists, ecologists and policy makers involved in area of pollutants from energy, environmental safety, and health sectors.

Provides comparative analysis of diesel and gasoline engine management Focuses on minimizing emissions by engine and exhaust gas treatment Describes pollutants arising from a variety of energy sectors
