Beskrivning

A comprehensive guide for both fundamentals and real-world applications of environmental engineeringWritten by noted experts, Handbook of Environmental Engineering offers a comprehensive guide to environmental engineers who desire to contribute to mitigating problems, such as flooding, caused by extreme weather events, protecting populations in coastal areas threatened by rising sea levels, reducing illnesses caused by polluted air, soil, and water from improperly regulated industrial and transportation activities, promoting the safety of the food supply. Contributors not only cover such timely environmental topics related to soils, water, and air, minimizing pollution created by industrial plants and processes, and managing wastewater, hazardous, solid, and other industrial wastes, but also treat such vital topics as porous pavement design, aerosol measurements, noise pollution control, and industrial waste auditing. This important handbook: Enables environmental engineers to treat problems in systematic waysDiscusses climate issues in ways useful for environmental engineersCovers up-to-date measurement techniques important in environmental engineeringReviews current developments in environmental law for environmental engineersIncludes information on water quality and wastewater engineeringInforms environmental engineers about methods of dealing with industrial and municipal waste, including hazardous wasteDesigned for use by practitioners, students, and researchers, Handbook of Environmental Engineering contains the most recent information to enable a clear understanding of major environmental issues.
