E-raamat: Handbook of Environment and Waste Management: Air and Water Pollution Control, Volume 1 [World Scientific e-raamat]

Hung, Wang, and Shammas present this reference volume on air and water pollution intended as a resource for environmental and waste management professionals, researchers, and students. The book begins with an introduction to air pollution, air quality modeling and prediction, pollution control in steelmaking, and biofiltration to control odors. The focus then shifts to drinking water, discussing waterborne pathogens, disinfection, surfactant removal, membrane separation techniques for purification, and reuse of municipal wastewater in irrigation. A number of sewage management topics are covered, including overflow treatment, stormwater systems, decentralized treatment, and biological wastewater treatment with specific chapters on aerobic granulation and sequencing batch reactors. Environmental protection is also the focus of several chapters, including impact assessment in aquatic systems, wetlands, rivers, and lakes, land treatment of wastewater, management of landfill leachate, waste from olive oil production and the medical industry, and utilization of enzymes and selected microorganisms for environmentally friendly waste degradation. The last two chapters return to municipal wastewater systems, discussing innovative technologies and a general overview of system parameters and necessary steps.
