Environmental Engineering: Books

Engineering Response to Climate Change takes on the tough questions of what to do and offers real solutions to the practical problems caused by radical changes in the Earth's climate. From energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions reduction, to climate-altering technologies, this new edition explores the latest concerns such as acidification of the ocean, energy efficiency, transportation, space solar power, and future and emerging possibilities. Each chapter concludes with discussion questions, calculations, and possible research topics.

This newly updated Dictionary provides a comprehensive reference for hundreds of environmental engineering terms used throughout the field. This fifth edition includes terms relating to pollution control technologies, monitoring, risk assessment, sampling and analysis, quality control, and permitting. Users of this dictionary will find exact and official Environmental Protection Agency definitions for environmental terms that are statute-related, regulation-related, science-related, and engineering-related, including terms from the following legal documents: Clean Air Act; Clean Water Act; CERCLA; EPCRA; Federal Facility Compliance Act; Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act; FIFRA; Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendment; OSHA; Pollution Prevention Act; RCRA; Safe Drinking Water Act; Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act; and TSCA.

Cowritten by leaders of two of the most prominent research groups in the world considering the effects of nanomaterials on the environment, this timely, advanced resource features 75% new material and offers comprehensive coverage of the impacts of nanomaterials on organisms and ecosystems and their applications within industry. This Second Edition features all-new chapters that include Ecotoxicology Principles for Manufactured Nanomaterials, Nanomaterials in Ecosystems, Risk Forecasting and Life-Cycle Considerations, and Nanotechnology Governance for Sustainable Science and Policy.

This textbook presents key theoretical approaches to understanding issues of sustainability and environmental management, perfectly bridging the gap between engineering and environmental science. It begins with the fundamentals of environmental modelling and toxicology, which are then used to discuss qualitative and quantitative risk assessment methods, and environmental assessments of product design. Students will learn quantitative methods while also gaining an understanding of qualitative, legal, and ethical aspects of sustainability. This is the perfect textbook on environmental studies for engineering and applied science students.

A complete guide to environmental regulations and remediation. This practical resource offers thorough coverage of current environmental issues and policies along with step-by-step remediation procedures. Handbook of Environmental Engineering features information on all segments of the market--including water and air quality and hazardous waste--and enables you to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations. Includes details about sensors, monitoring, and toxicity treatment and controls as well as waste management and safe disposal. Real-world examples demonstrate how to apply techniques and achieve compliance, while environmental impact assessments and measurement data enhance the book's utility.

Introduction to Environmental Engineering contains the fundamental science and engineering principles needed for introductory courses and used as the basis for more advanced courses in environmental engineering. Updated with latest EPA regulations, Davis and Cornwell apply the concepts of sustainability and materials and energy balance as a means of understanding and solving environmental engineering issues.

From thermodynamics to fluid dynamics to computational chemistry, this book sets forth the scientific principles underlying the need for sustainable design, explaining not just the "hows" of sustainable design and green engineering, but also the "whys." Moreover, it provides readers with the scientific principles needed to guide their own sustainable design decisions. With its many examples, case studies, and exercises, the book is also an ideal textbook for students in civil and environmental engineering, construction, and architectural engineering.
