Introduction to environmental engineering and science

Written for undergraduate students in environmental engineering and related science programs, this textbook surveys the main kinds of environmental pollution in a balanced way. Alongside the established categories, it addresses newer concerns such as climate change and the thinning of the ozone layer. Further chapters explore assessing risk, keeping air clean indoors, reducing waste at its source, recycling, and the contamination of groundwater. It gives students a broad grounding in how human activity affects air, water and land, and in how engineers might respond to those effects.
