This new edition provides a practical view of pollution and its impact on the natural environment. Driven by the hope of a sustainable future, it stresses the importance of environmental law and resource sustainability and offers a wealth of information based on real-world observations and expert experience. It presents a basic overview of environmental pollution, emphasizes key terms, and addresses specific concepts in advanced algebra, fundamental engineering, and statistics. In addition, it considers socioeconomic, political, and cultural influences and provides an understanding of how to effectively treat and prevent air pollution, implement industrial hygiene principles, and manage solid waste, water, and wastewater operations.

The Handbook of Environmental Engineering is written in a down-to-earth style for a wide audience, as it appeals to technical readers, consultants, policymakers, as well as a wide range of general readers.

Features:

  • Updated throughout, with a new chapter on modern trends in environmental engineering, the book further emphasizes climate change effects on water/wastewater infrastructure
  • Examines the physical, chemical, and biological processes fundamental to understanding the environment fate and engineered treatment of environmental contaminants
  • Presents technologies to prevent pollution at the source as well as treatment and disposal methods for remediation
  • Identifies multiple environmental pollutants and explains the effects of each
