Take Advantage of the Latest Calculation Methods for Solving Problems in Every Major
Area of Environmental Engineering
The only hands-on reference of its kind, the Handbook of
Environmental Engineering Calculations equips you with step-by-step calculation procedures
covering virtually every aspect of environmental engineering.
Designed to give you quick access to essential information, the updated Second
Edition of this unique guide now presents the latest methods for solving a wide range of
specific problems, together with worked-out examples that include numerical results for
the calculations.
Written by a team of environmental experts from both the private and public sectors, this
easy-to-use reference provides you with complete calculations for water quality assessment
and control?solid waste materials ? and air pollution control. Filled with 200 helpful
illustrations, the Second Edition features:
- Hundreds of detailed examples and calculations with fully illustrated steps
- Calculations covering every aspect of environmental engineering
- Both SI and U.S. customary units presented throughout
- New to this edition: new sections on fuel cells and air toxic risk assessment
