Environmental Modeling: Fate And Transport Of Pollutants In Water, Air, And Soil

Environmental Modeling: Fate and Transport of Pollutants in Water, Air, and Soil

A comprehensive, thoroughly modern approach to environmentalquality assessmentThe only textbook to combine engineering transport fundamentals andequilibrium aquatic chemistry, Environmental Modeling brings auniquely contemporary perspective to the assessment ofenvironmental quality. Addressing key questions about fate,transport, and long-term effects of chemical pollutants in theenvironment, this inherently practical text gives readers theimportant tools they need to develop and solve their ownmathematical models.Contains detailed examples from a wide range of crucial waterquality areas-conventional pollutants in rivers, eutrophication oflakes, and toxic organic chemicals and heavy metals in both surfaceand groundwatersExamines current global issues, including atmospheric deposition,hazardous wastes, soil pollution, global change, and moreFeatures over 200 high-quality illustrations, plus skill-buildingproblems in every chapterFresh in approach and broad in scope, Environmental Modeling ismust reading for today's graduate and advanced undergraduatestudents in environmental sciences and engineering-a rich,invaluable, and superlative new resource.
