"Environmental science is the academic domain concerned with the integrated study of environmental systems. The study of environmental issues and the formulation of strategies are also under the scope of its study. An understanding of atmospheric sciences, environmental chemistry, ecology and geosciences is intrinsic to environmental science. There has been significant human intervention in the ecology and biodiversity of the Earth, which has resulted in adverse environmental conditions. Therefore, it becomes imperative to develop and implement effective strategies for protecting human populations and the natural environment from these effects and improve environmental quality. This may be achieved by an integration of scientific and engineering principles which is undertaken by the field of environmental engineering. Waste disposal and management, environmental sustainability, pollution control and management, etc. are some of the methods that can be used in the management of environmental problems. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and principles in the fields of environmental science and engineering. Different approaches, evaluations and methodologies on these fields have been included herein. This textbook, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels." --Provided by publisher
