About this title

Synopsis

For one-term, undergraduate-level courses in Environmental Engineering, Pollution Control, Environmental Control, Human Environmental Systems, and Environmental Management.

Focused on current environmental problems, their causes, effects, and solutions, this text explores the basic nature of the natural systems. Using a technical (quantitative) approach ―unusual for a book at the introductory level ― it maintains a broad perspective that appeals to all students, but at the same time is useful to those proceeding further in environmental or sanitary engineering.

Synopsis

Focused on current environmental problems (their causes, effects and solutions) this text explores the basic nature of the natural systems - how technology affects them and how it can be used to minimize damaging impacts. The text aims to explain the root causes of environmental problems and clarify the relationship between natural systems and technology. It discusses solid and hazardous wastes, environmental management and ethics, offers a perspective on both theory and practice, and contains case studies on California's Peripheral Canal, the problem of acid rain and the contamination of the Niagra River. It also lists the necessary symbols, conversion factors and the physical properties of various substances in the appendices.
