Introduction to Environmental Engineering and Science
About the cover: Death Valley, one of the hottest places on Earth and home to more than 1000 species of plants, including more than 50 endemics, received record amounts of rain during the winters of 2004 and 2005. Through March of 2005, more than 8 inches of rain fell—4 times the yearly average of only 1.96 inches. Dormant seeds of various desert flowers germinated and flourished at record levels. This photograph was taken during one of these record rainfalls in March 2005.\ “One of the...

Presents an extensive, moderately technicalintroduction to a wide range of the latest environmental topics, especially the major categories of environmental pollution. KEY TOPICS:The book explores such problems as depletion of the ozone layer, greenhouse effect, groundwater flow and contamination, and indoor air quality. The second edition of Introduction to Environmental Engineering and Science reflects the latest data and an increase in the depth and breadth of the material, and emphasizes the importance of risk perception and assessment. Expands coverage of water resources and groundwater remediation; the treatment of hazardous wastes and key environmental legislation regulating hazardous substances; and mobile source controls related to air pollution. It also includes a new chapter on Solid Waste Management and Resource Recovery and a revised chapter on Global Atmospheric Change. An essential reference book for any professional involved with environmental engineering or any reader who wishes a greater understanding of the effects of pollution on the environment. Booknews An introduction to the fundamental principles common to most environmental problems is followed by major sections on water pollution, hazardous waste and risk assessment, waste treatment technologies, air pollution, global climate change, hazardous substances, and risk analysis. Includes problems. Acidic paper. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

\ BooknewsA text for an entry-level technical course for undergraduates, offering traditional coverage of air and water pollution as well as recent environmental issues such as hazardous waste, groundwater contamination, indoor air quality, and ozone depletion. Early chapters cover mass and energy transfer, environmental chemistry, mathematics of population growth and resource consumption, and risk assessment, while the remaining five chapters present major environmental problems. Includes worked examples and many exercises. Can be used for a standard sophomore or junior undergraduate environmental engineering class, or for a second course on the environment for less technical students. This second edition is updated and expanded, with new material on solid waste management and risk assessment.
