Books

This book contains the essential science and engineering principles needed for introductory courses and can be used as the basis for more advanced courses in environmental engineering. It applies the concepts of sustainability and materials and energy balance as a means of understanding and solving environmental engineering issues. Introduction to Environmental Engineering is both a comprehensible and comprehensive tool for any environmental engineering course.

This book is the first volume in a three-volume set. It provides an introduction to the topic, and focuses on legislation, transportation, transfer station, characterization, mechanical volume reduction, measurement, combustion, incineration, composting, landfilling, and systems planning as it pertains to solid waste management.

This book discusses contamination of water, air, and soil media. It covers health effects of such contamination and discusses remedial measures to improve the situation. Contributions by experts provide a comprehensive discussion on the latest developments in the detection and analysis of contaminants, enabling researchers to understand the evolution of these pollutants in real time and develop more accurate source apportionment of these pollutants.

This book discusses solid waste management issues from a global to a local level. It discusses the major issues with respect to environmental health and economy, which are related to solid waste management, and contains updated information on topics such as toxicology, climate change, population pressure, urbanization, energy production, building and community design, and disaster preparedness in the context of solid waste management.

This book focuses specifically on the environmental issues related to air pollution control and design. Written for researchers, graduate students, engineers, policy makers, and entrepreneurs, it covers the basic concepts of air pollution control and design but also addresses the fundamentals of energy utilization in the context of good engineering practice and policy instruments.

Using real-life examples, this book is intended to provide an update on different aspects of soil contamination exerted by a multiplicity of exogenous and endogenous causes.

This book explores a wide range of contaminants heavily affecting our environment and water bodies: heavy metals, metalloids, pesticides, explosives, toxic chemicals, dyes, plastics, e-wastes, fertilizers, detergents, nitrates/nitrites, phosphates, hydrocarbons, and fecal wastes. Environmental impact, methods of analysis, and treatments are discussed in detail.

This comprehensive volume comprises chapters from diverse areas dealing with biotechnology, microbial technology, nanotechnology, molecular biology, green and sustainable remediation, etc.
