Book description
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.
Stefan Franzle, 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. Franzle 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 Wunschmann, 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. Wunschmann has so far
(co)published 2 books
