Dieses Lehrbuch entwickelt die Grundprinzipien der Umwelttechnik: Wasser- und Abwasserbehandlung, Luftreinhaltung und die Entsorgung von Gefahrstoffen werden ausgewogen dargestellt und anhand zahlreicher realitätsnaher Beispiele in die Praxis umgesetzt. Die Studenten lernen, wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse im ingenieurtechnischen Alltag sinnvoll anzuwenden. (12/00)

Principles of Environmental Engineering and Science is well suited for a course in introductory environmental engineering for sophomore- or junior-level students. The emphasis is on engineering principles rather than on engineering design. The concept of mass balance is carried throughout the text as a tool for problem solving. The book includes more extensive coverage of chemistry, biology, and hydrology than other books in this field. The chemistry review in Chapter 2 and coverage of ethics will aid students in better understanding the engineering topics presented in the book.
