Environmental Engineering, Third Edition

Environmental Engineering, Third Edition, provides a comprehensive introduction to air, water, noise, and radioactive materials pollution and its control. In addition to the engineering principles governing the generation and control of these pollutants, this up-to-date third edition focuses on legal and regulatory principles, risk analysis, and the effect these pollutants have on the environment. beginning with a historical background of environmental engineering, topics explored include water quality and waste water treatment, air pollution control, solid and hazardous waste disposal, noise pollution, environmental ethics, and a discussion on the increasingly important field of environmental engineering.J. Jeffrey Peirce Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Wisconsin at Madison is the author of 'Environmental Engineering, Third Edition', published 1994 under ISBN 9780750693981 and ISBN 0750693983.
