This new book addresses the mechanisms by which chemical pollutants reach oceans, deep groundwater aquifers, and the stratosphere and presents new predictive models of transport and transformation. It analyzes the biotransformation of organic chemicals and pesticides; atmospheric deposition of toxic pollutants; and transport of volatile organic compounds and pesticide residues through surface soils.
It also contains information on the role of free radicals, surface and bottom sediment, redox reactions in water, and considerations for biorestoration. Comprehensive coverage of pesticide labeling laws and groundwater protection will be of interest to environmental engineers and soil and water chemists.

A unique book in analyzing investments that looks at hertofore ignored issues such as future liabilities, risk assessment, and long term environmental impact. Provides formulas and models for estimating value and worth and quantification of less tangible items like pollution monitoring.

An invaluable resource for students and practitioners alike. This new edition of the premier all pollution textbook is completely updated and revised to include all components of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. It covers the spectrum of topics pertinent to the study of air pollution: elements, sources effects, measurement, monitoring, and meteorology. In addition, this textbook features new chapters on atmospheric emissions and air pathways from hazardous waste sites and the long-term effects of air pollution on the earth.
The book also outlines the challenges that lie ahead for environmental professionals as they monitor air quality; study the behavior and fate of trace contaminants in the air; and work on developing pollution control strategies.

Dr. Benarde's newest book offers a highly accessible, yet painstakingly accurate examination of the subject's key issues in their broadest dimension. Beginning with a discussion of seasonal and atmospheric factors, his book goes on to explain the potential effects of a higher CO2 world-both harmful and beneficial.
It describes the activities of researchers throughout the world who are seeking ways to cope with expected changes. It will serve as an excellent source book for environmentalists, regulatory and public health agents, and anyone seeking a fuller understanding of the changes taking place in our environment.

This reference text takes an engineering approach. Features concise presentations of both theory and examples including extensive case studies from actual remedial investigations and site remediation. Contains full coverage of numerical transport modeling. For engineers specializing in groundwater hydrology and contamination with a focus on remediation (clean-up).

Please refer to Volume 2, shown below, for description.

This comprehensive reference describes investigations of the fate of toxic chemicals emanating from hazardous waste sites and contaminating groundwater-discussing the hydrogeo-chemistry at U. S., Canadian, Australian, and German sites to reflect the different approaches used around the world

This is an extensive guide to controlling such problems as medical waste and noise pollution as well as an authoritative source on such topics as the greenhouse effect and risk assessment.

Handbook of Mass Spectra of Environmental Contaminants, 2nd Edition is a collection of the electron impact mass spectra of 533 commonly encountered environmental pollutants. The compounds were selected from an analysis of several U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and World Health Organization databases. All data have been reviewed by a panel of experienced mass spectrometrists. To help identify unknown compounds, all spectra have been indexed by common chemical name, CAS registry number, exact molecular weight, and intense peaks.

This long-needed reference presents state-of-the-art environmental management technologies used in common as well as not so common industries-exploring how unit operations and processes should be combined to give a technically and economically feasible system of pollution control for each particular industry.

Provides clear, concise explanations of the latest regulations and current issues in water quality, from the original source to delivery to the consumer. Up to date coverage of current EPA regulations, with comparisons to World Health Organization and European Economic Community Standards. Expanded information on contaminants including lead, copper, radon, coliform, crytosporidium, and trihalomethanes. Guidelines for writing new standards or evaluating existing standards for drinking water quality.

A complete treatment regarding all aspects of this important area providing readers with the regulations and statutes of OSHA, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, RCRA, Superfund and others. It features an overview of the various topics along with field applications.

This invaluable guide introduces the most up-to-date techniques for soil remediation, including chemical fixation/stabilization, soil vapor extraction, thermally enhanced vapor stripping, biodegradation, and air sparging-written in a style accessible to nonspecialists.

If you intend to treat, store or dispose of hazardous wastes, the federal government requires your facility to have an RCRA Part B permit. The information in this book was developed from guidance documents used by EPA personnel to review permit applications.

Hydrocarbon contamination of soil and groundwater, although less visible, is even more widespread and has provided the background for the numerous studies presented in this book, in addition to those devoted to shoreline spills. Chapters address a wide variety of theory and practice and cover important subjects such as biofiltration, natural attenuation, surfactants, and the use of in situ bioventing compared to soil venting.
