The Wiley Series in Environmentally Conscious Engineering will be made up of a number of contributed books, each covering a broad subset of information. Titles already under contract include: Environmentally Conscious Mechanical Design, Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing, Environmentally Conscious Material and Chemical Processing, Environmentally Conscious Alternative Energy Production, Environmentally Conscious Transportation, Environmentally Conscious Materials Handling, and Environmentally Conscious Fossil Energy Production. The target market for the series will be practicing professionals, both engineers and managers, and upper level engineering students. This sixth book will be developed at the same level of writing and audience as all the others. Environmentally Conscious Materials Handling will provide a foundation for understanding and implementing methods for reducing the environmental impact of all forms ofhandling packaged goods, as well as raw, hazardous, and toxic materials. Contributors will present relevant practical and analytic techniques that contribute to enhancing the integrity and reliability of materials handling. Proposed chapters will cover: Materials Handling System Design, Intelligent Control of Material Handling Systems, Distribution Center Design, Material Handling Audits, Minimizing the Environmental Effects of Freight Movement, Industrial and Household Waste Disposal, Transporting Dangerous Materials, Hazardous Material Removal and Disposal, and Oil Tanker/Pipeline Design.
