The development of analytical methods for identifying widespread perchlorate contamination brought about an explosion of research into the environmental problems and their potential solutions along with a corresponding increase in the availability of information. Unlike reference works that focus on only a few aspects of this contaminant, Perchlorate: Environmental Problems and Solutions offers a comprehensive, single source of information on perchlorate contamination in the environment. Summarizing the state of the science and developments in engineering, the book describes:...

Nanomaterials' unique properties offer revolutionary means to optimize a variety of products, including electronics, textiles, paintings and coatings, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. However, these same properties mean that nanoscale materials can behave differently in the human body and the environment than conventional materials.

Nanotechnology and the Environment provides the fundamental basis needed to assess and understand the life cycle of nanomaterials. It begins with a general explanation of nanomaterials, their properties, and their uses and describes the...

Graduating environmental engineers need a firm grasp of the basics of hazardous waste site remediation. Fundamentals of Hazardous Waste Site Remediation will be the first true next book available to professors teaching the subject of site remediations, either as a stand-alone cou rse or as part of a broader waste management course in an advanced und ergraduate or graduate program in environmental engineering. Packed wi th end-of-chapter review problems and accompanied by a solutions manua l, Fundamentals of Hazardous Waste Site Remediation will let professor s teach the true fundamentals of...
