This book will sensitise the reader to various perspectives on the pollution that the textile industry generates. The author has provided extensive information on redressing the hurtful effects of these processes and is a good primer on this topic. Mr. C N Sivaramakrishnan has chosen to do this in the form of this wonderful compendium that connects the textile industry - the wet processing stream of it - with the environmental issues that are associated with it. The book is nicely structured, which begins with an overview of the mother Chemical Industry and then leading to the basic information on the textile industry.
