Abstract
An overview of pollution control practices in the United States is presented here, with particular emphasis on those factors which motivate and direct current practices. A more in-depth discussion is provided of certain areas, particularly those items which might be unique to the USA. More emphasis has been placed on wastewater-related issues. The largest dollar expenditures and technical efforts have probably gone to solving these problems in the oleochemical field. Some example projects are presented to demonstrate the significant points.
