What is it about?
It is necessary for environmental evaluation of surface finishing processes. From the viewpoint of current environmental protection acts and laws in various countries (which seem to be getting stricter) surface finishing industries are facing serious challenges. These industries tend to release heavy metals and other pollutants into our air, water, and soil. Therefore, to meet the demands of the environmental protection laws, they will need to modify current process and purpose some new ones to replace their traditional methods. In order fr these new processes to be adequate and effective, appropriate environmental evaluation are needed to test them. This chapter paper describes several ways to evaluate and treat harmful contaminants in air and water (especially those from the surface finishing industry).

Why is it important?
Air and water pollution are still serious problems even nowadays. This chapter gives general sketch for the evaluation and treatment at fundamental level. The novice platers should read this once for the future.
Perspectives
The countermeasure against fumes, effluents etc. in plating processes should be seriously concerned and investigated by platers. This chapter paper will give you tips to think the evaluation and treatment for air and water pollution by plating.
