Books in Environmental sciences

The Environmental Sciences titles present critical research and insights into the complex interactions within natural ecosystems, climate systems, and human impacts on the environment. Covering areas such as biodiversity, sustainability, climate change, and resource management, these titles support scientific discovery and practical solutions for addressing today’s most pressing environmental challenges. This collection is essential for researchers, policymakers, and students dedicated to advancing environmental understanding and stewardship

  • Treatment of Microbial Contaminants in Potable Water Supplies

    Technologies and Costs
    • 1st Edition
    • Jerrold J. Troyan + 1 more
    • English
    Identifies the best technologies or other means that are generally available, taking costs into consideration, for inactivating or removing microbial contaminants from surface water and groundwater supplies of drinking water. More specifically, it discusses water treatment technologies to be used by community and non-community water systems in removing turbidity, Giardia, viruses, and bacteria.

  • Retrofitting Publicly-Owned Treatment Works for Compliance

    • 1st Edition
    • Bob A. Hegg + 2 more
    • English
    Retrofitting Publicly-Owned Treatment Works for Compliance is intended as a source document for individuals responsible for improving the performance of an existing, non-complying wastewater treatment facility. Described are: 1) methods to evaluate an existing facility's capability to achieve improved performance, 2) a process for systematically improving its performance, and 3) details on how to modify the facility to achieve the required levels of performance. The manual emphasizes meeting National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements for secondary treatment facilities (30 mg/L BODs and TSS).

  • Countermeasures to Airborne Hazardous Chemicals

    • 1st Edition
    • J.M. Holmes + 1 more
    • English
    Presents a study which reviews the entire spectrum of activities, recommends appropriate action, and gives technical guidance. the information in the book is from Countermeasures to hazardous chemicals, prepared for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, April 1989. No index. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

  • Handbook of Industrial Membrane Technology

    • 1st Edition
    • Mark C. Porter
    • English
    This handbook emphasizes the use of sythetic membranes for separations involving industrial or municipal process streams. The ten chapters are authored by some of the world's leading experts in the field of membrane science and technology. Discussions on theory, engineering aspects, membrane preparation and typical and projected applications of the various membrane processes are included.

  • Stabilization and Solidification of Hazardous Wastes

    • 1st Edition
    • M.M. Arozarena
    • English
    Provides designers and engineers with general guidance necessary to judge the feasibility of stabilization/solidi... (S/S) technology for the control of pollutant migration from land disposed hazardous wastes.

  • Detection of Subsurface Hazardous Waste Containers by Nondestructive Techniques

    • 1st Edition
    • Arthur E. Lord + 1 more
    • English
    A full and rich guide to nondestructive means of testing subsurface containers with hazardous waste.

  • Halogenated Solvent Cleaners: Emission Control Technologies and Cost Analysis

    • 1st Edition
    • Radian Radian Corp.
    • English
    This book discusses the halogenated cleaning systems currently in use and how to control emissions through specific technologies, and the costs involved in using these techniques.

  • Metal Bearing Waste Streams

    Minimizing, Recycling and Treatment
    • 1st Edition
    • M. Meltzer
    • English
    Analyzes alternatives to land disposal of hazardous metal waste streams, focusing on methods to prevent waste generation. Source reduction, recycling and treatment strategies are covered.

  • Volumetric Leak Detection Methods for Underground Fuel Storage Tanks

    • 1st Edition
    • Joseph W. Maresca
    • English
    This report summarizes the technical findings of an EPA study which evaluated the viability of volumetric tanks tests as a means of detecting leaks in underground storage tanks.

  • Alternative Formulations and Packaging to Reduce Use of Chlorofluorocarbons

    • 1st Edition
    • T.P. Nelson + 1 more
    • English
    This book describes alternative formulations and packaging techniques for the reduction or elimination of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) use as an aerosol propellant. Use of CFCs in specific categories of aerosols considered "nonessential" was banned by the U.S. in 1978. Recent renewed interest in further reducing worldwide production and consumption of CFCs, and other chemicals implicated in the depletion of the earth's stratospheric ozone layer, is responsible for this study, which covers currently exempted and excluded CFC aerosol applications and their alternatives.
