2. Environmental Engineering (Fifth Edition)

Edited by Joseph A. Salvato, Nelson L. Nemerow, and Franklin J. Agardy (2003)

Upholding the reputation of its predecessors as the most trusted single-source handbook on the subject, the fifth edition of Environmental Engineering provides up-to-date, practical guidance on a full range of environmental issues, while delivering the critical material on sanitation management and engineering used by today’s leaders in the field.

Environmental Engineering’s highly illustrative coverage addresses environmental control in urban, suburban, and rural settings—including general design, construction, maintenance, and operation details related to plants and structures—with new material on such topics as:

soil and groundwater remediation,
radiation exposure and safety,
environmental emergencies and preparedness,
hazardous waste remediation,
incineration,
transporting pollutants,
communicable and noninfectious diseases,
food protection,
noise control,
water filtration system technology and
solid waste management.

Environmental Engineering, Fifth Edition is an essential reference for environmental and civil engineers, environmental consultants and scientists, and regulatory and safety professionals in the public and private sector, and is a study reference for NEHA’s REHS/RS, CP-FS, and CEHT exams.
1,544 pages, hardback.
