The environmental field combines principles of chemistry, physics, biology, ecology, energy, engineering, & management. While most environmental professionals use aspects of these specialties in their everyday management & compliance activities, few have received training or have extensive experience in all of them. Environmental Engineering & Science: An Introduction covers the basics environmental professionals need to comply with regulations, manage resources & technology, & control pollution. After detailing basic scientific principles as they apply to the environment, separate chapters review water, air, & land resources & the threats & engineering solutions to each. An overview of applicable regulations is also included. This book is filled with case studies, solved numerical problems, exercises, & illustrations to clarify key concepts. However, the mathematics & science used in the book are at a level that every environmental professional, novice or veteran, will be able to understand. Contents include: An Environmental Model; Matter & Materials Balance; Principles of Energy & Energy Alternatives; Principles of Environmental Chemistry; Principles of Ecology & Microbiology; Process Engineering; The Water Environment; Pollution & Treatment of the Water Environment; The Atmospheric Environment; & The Terrestrial Environment.

Also includes a glossary, appendices, & answers to problems.
