The authors of this series have compiled a complete set of environmental engineering textbooks that present the latest theories and principles in a one-stop reference for its readers. The latest updates of the series will become the international authority of the overall field of environmental engineering. The topic chapters contained within this series range from environmental engineering processes, methodologies, technologies, compiled environmental data, theories and principles, case histories, authorships and quoted references as well as numerous other crucial bits of data. These texts present the state-of-the-art environmental engineering technologies in the year 2002 and years leading to it. Special features such as English unit and Metric unit conversion tables are both included for the handbook to remain accepted nationally and internationally. This group of contributors, comprised of environmental engineers, scientists, and mangers has spent a great amount of time to create this handbook series for the sole purpose of academic and technological advancement.
