As part of regulatory programs such as the new Clean Air Act, industries that emit pollutants from stationary sources are required to monitor these emissions and to keep them within specified limits. A complete guide to the field of Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEM), this guide addresses all current technologies and practices in the monitoring of pollutants emitted from industrial stacks. Taking the viewpoint of both a purchaser of CEM System and inspector/auditor, this book should enable environmental engineers to assess the operating characteristics of commercially available technologies and to evaluate them for specific applications. Extensive examples will aid readers in understanding and performing calculations or reviewing calculations made by others regarding the conversions of instrument data into units of emission standards, performance specifications, F factor calculations, and methods of averaging emissions data. This book should be of interest to civil and environmental engineers.

Over the last forty years, the number of American households with a stay-at-home parent has dwindled as women have increasingly joined the paid workforce and more women raise children alone. Many policy makers feared these changes would come at the expense of time mothers spend with their children. In Changing Rhythms of American Family Life, sociologists Suzanne M. Bianchi, John P. Robinson, and Melissa Milkie analyze the way families spend their time and uncover surprising new findings about how Americans are balancing the demands of work and family.Using time diary data from surveys of American parents over the last four decades, Changing Rhythms of American Family Life finds that—despite increased workloads outside of the home—mothers today spend at least as much time interacting with their children as mothers did decades ago—and perhaps even more. Unexpectedly, the authors find mothers’ time at work has not resulted in an overall decline in sleep or leisure time. Rather, mothers have made time for both work and family by sacrificing time spent doing housework and by increased “multitasking.” Changing Rhythms of American Family Life finds that the total workload (in and out of the home) for employed parents is high for both sexes, with employed mothers averaging five hours more per week than employed fathers and almost nineteen hours more per week than homemaker mothers. Comparing average workloads of fathers with all mothers—both those in the paid workforce and homemakers—the authors find that there is gender equality in total workloads, as there has been since 1965. Overall, it appears that Americans have adapted to changing circumstances to ensure that they preserve their family time and provide adequately for their children.Changing Rhythms of American Family Life explodes many of the popular misconceptions about how Americans balance work and family. Though the iconic image of the American mother has changed from a docile homemaker to a frenzied, sleepless working mom, this important new volume demonstrates that the time mothers spend with their families has remained steady throughout the decades.
