Principles of Environmental Engineering & Science: 2024 Release ISE

<i>Principles of Environmental Engineering</i> is intended for a course in introductory environmental engineering for sophomore- or junior-level students. This text provides a background in fundamental science and engineering principles of environmental engineering for students who may or may not become environmental engineers. <i>Principles</i> places more emphasis on scientific principles, ethics, and safety, and focuses less on engineering design. The text exposes students to a broad range of environmental topics—including risk management, water quality and 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 environmental engineering problems.</p>
