Environmental Pollution Control EngineeringThis Revised Edition Of The Book On Environmental Pollution Control Engineering Features A Systematic And Thorough Treatment Of The Principles Of The Origin Of Air, Water And Land Pollutants, Their Effect On The Environment And The Methods Available To Control Them. The Demographic And Environmental Trends, Energy Consumption Patterns And Their Impact On The Environment Are Clearly Discussed. Application Of The Physical, And Chemical Engineering Concepts To The Design Of Pollution Control Equipment Is Emphasized. Due Importance Is Given To Modelling, Quality Monitoring And Control Of Specific Major Pollutants. A Separate Chapter On The Management Of Hazardous Wastes Is Added. Information Pertaining To Indian Conditions Is Given Wherever Possible To Help The Reader Gain An Insight Into India Sown Pollution Problems.This Book Is Mainly Intended As A Textbook For An Integrated One-Semester Course For Senior Level Undergraduate Or First Year Post-Graduate Engineering Students And Can Also Serve As A Reference Book To Practising Engineers And Decision Makers Concerned With Environmental Pollution Control. |
