책소개

Building on the first principles of environmental chemistry, engineering, and ecology, this volume fills the need for an advanced textbook introducing the modern, integrated environmental management approach, with a view towards long-term sustainability and within the framework of international regulations. As such, it presents the classic technologies alongside innovative ones that are just now coming into widespread use, such as photochemical technologies and carbon dioxide sequestration. Numerous case studies from the fields of air, water and soil engineering describe real-life solutions to problems in pollution prevention and remediation, as an aid to practicing professional skills. With its tabulated data, comprehensive list of further reading, and a glossary of terms, this book doubles as a reference for environmental engineers and consultants.

출판사 서평

“As the book has an integrated approach dealt with both the elementary and fairly advanced aspect of &environmental science and technology, it can be taken as reference material for researchers and consultants working in the area. For further reading, important and useful references are also included in the end.”& (Environ Sci Pollut Res, 29 November 2013)“In conclusion, many readers of the Journal of Soils and Sediments can find interesting topics in this book, which deals with soils and sediments and with their interactions with water and atmosphere. Teachers can find here interesting materials in support of lectures, and additional references. Operators in the field can be intrigued by some non-orthodox points of view on environmental technologies proposed by the authors.”& (Journal Soils Sediments, 1 May 2013)“Recommended.& Researchers/faculty and professionals.”& (Choice, 1 September 2012)

Stefan Frauml;nzle, born 1961, is an instructor at Zittau University (Germany), teaching environmental sciences and technology, including analytics and ecotoxicology. His main research interests are applied (environmental) photochemistry, biological element cycles and element management in organisms, including bioinorganic chemistry and ecological stoichiometry. Dr. Frauml;nzle has so far (co)published 6 books.Bernd Markert, born 1958, is Professor of Environmental Technology and former director of the International Graduate School Zittau (Germany). His professional interests include the biogeochemistry of trace substances in the water/soil/plant system, instrumental analysis of chemical elements, eco- and human toxicology of hazardous substances, pollution control by use of bioindicators and technologies for waste management, environmental restoration, and remedial action on soils. Professor Markert has so far (co)published 18 books.Simone Wuuml;nschmann, born 1967, is an environmental scientist. She works on human and ecotoxicology with emphasis on bioindication of trace elements in mammals and human milk. Dr. Wuuml;nschmann has so far (co)published 2 books
