Introduction To Environmental Engineering And Science

0.0

The third edition of this book has been completely updated, modestly expanded and significantly strengthened—especially in the area of water quality engineering. The revisions have been made with the aim of providing students with the necessary tools and understanding of topics in chemistry, water treatment, air pollution and solid waste components. The text maintains its accessibility to non-engineering and hard science students as well. This blend of technical rigour and broad accessibility has been a goal of the previous editions and it continues to be an explicit objective of this edition too. Designed for use in undergraduate courses on environmental engineering and science. NEW TO THIS EDITION 1. More Applied Applications – Greenhouse Gases, Hurricane Katrina, Global Warming 2. Inclusion of Plug Flow Discussion 3. Added Discussions on Topics – Deforestation, Soil Erosion, Species Extinction
