This is a terrific, clear explanation of air pollution rules. As a plant manager, I got more useful information from this book than I got in five years of paying attorneys and consultants. It's an easy read and it's easy to find the information you need. In the 700 pages (not 1,500 like somebody else said) Mr. Trzupek makes sense of all of the rules that nobody can understand, gives you weapons to fight with and provides a bunch of resources to use. This is a book I can actually use.

Three hundred pages of generalities, very little specific. 1200 pages of appendix. The book was over price, considering it is really nothing more than a dictionary of air quality compliance and permitting. The chapters and topics over and over suggest the topic at hand is complicated and changing and to variable to go into specifics. For 90 dollars and 1500 pages I want to know specifics for different processes, at different levels, in different regions, in different states. On page three he suggests that if you are looking for a book that covers every possible contingency this book is not for you...he is correct...yet the book should be renamed to 'If You Are In Business, You Can't Afford Not To Hire Someone That Can Understand Air-Quality Compliance...But Not Write A Comprehensive Text On The Subject in 1500 Pages or Less".
