Product Description
This book covers the basics of environmental engineering and applications in water quality, air quality, and hazardous waste management. It begins by describing the fundamental principles that serve as the foundation of the entire field of environmental engineering. Readers are then systematically reintroduced to these basics in a manner that is tailored to the requirements of environmental engineers, and that is not too closely tied to any specific application.
