Klappentext Climate change! acid rain! deforestation! and dwindling energy resources are just a few of the pressing concerns galvanizing public support for greater environmental protection. As a result! corporations must predict possible environmental problems! generate solutions! and formulate new ideas to ensure environmental sustainability. Based on extensive research and practical experience of the authors! Handbook of Environmental Engineering Assessment: Strategy! Planning! and Management provides workflow solutions to evaluate projects! determine risk and find the most effective solution while still maintaining recognized engineering standards. By applying the methods and technologies explained in this book! engineers learn how to calculate the impact of human activity in relation to the environment and seek to design methods of environmental sustainability! conservation! and protective efforts and! if necessary! reparations. The book covers design systems! processes and equipment for air! water and soil quality control! solid waste disposal! and the remediation of contaminated soil! air! and water. Zusammenfassung Focuses on the complex subjects of environmental engineering assessment and planning. This title covers subjects related to environmental engineering and planning which include environmental laws and regulations, international perspectives on environmental analysis engineering and planning, economic and social impact analysis and more.
