Principles of Environmental Engineering & Science

<i>Principles of Environmental Engineering</i> is intended for a course in introductory environmental engineering for sophomore- or junior-level students. <b>This text provides a background in fundamental science and engineering principles of environmental engineering</b> for students who may or may not become environmental engineers. <P><i>Principles</i> places more emphasis on scientific principles, ethics, and safety, and focuses less on engineering design. <b>The text exposes students to a broad range of environmental topics</b>—including risk management, water quality an treatment, air pollution, hazardous waste, solid waste, and ionizing radiation as well as discussion of relevant regulations and practices. <P>The book also uses mass and energy balance as a tool for understanding environmental processes and solving environmetnal engineering problems. <P>This new edition includes an optional chapter on Biology as well as a thorough updating of environmental standards and a discussion of how those standards are created.
