Publisher's Synopsis
Environmental Engineering, Third Edition, provides a comprehensive introduction to air, water, noise, and radioactive materials pollution and its control. In addition to the engineering principles governing the generation and control of these pollutants, this up-to-date third edition focuses on legal and regulatory principles, risk analysis, and the effect these pollutants have on the environment. Beginning with a historical background of environmental engineering, topics explored include water quality and waste water treatment, air pollution control, solid and hazardous waste disposal, noise pollution, environmental ethics, and a discussion on the increasingly important field of environmental engineering.
