This timely handbook is an ideal source of information for specialists and nonspecialists alike. It provides completely practical data and techniques in the four major water conservation and use areas: (1) water chemistry, sources, and contaminants; (2) unit operations and treatment; (3) industrial and municipal use of water and its disposal; and (4) special technology in water treatment.

This is a comprehensive guide to complying with the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), a law affecting companies that manufacture, import, process and distribute chemicals. It provides a primer to the statute and the related EPA regulations that govern the testing of existing chemicals and the introduction of new ones.
Appendices include a summary of the law, standard EPA forms, policy guidance, and related background material on interpreting the law.

Contents: Climate and Precipitation. Hydrologic Elements. Surface Water. Ground Water. Water Use. Water Quality. Environmental Problems. Water Resources Management. Water Law and Treaties. Agencies AND Organizations. Constants and Conversion Factors. Index.

Offers an easily accessible treatment of energy related topics and their impact on the environment at a level understandable to all readers, regardless of scientific background.

This thorough handbook is an authoritative guide to the development of technology- and health-based standards for compliance with the 1990 Amendments to the Clean Air Act. The text provides complete details on the new regulatory program, and practical advice for the selection and implementation of acceptable control measures.

This valuable resource presents the integrated chemical behavior of selected toxic metals-discussing all important chemical processes which affect their marine chemistry.

Policymakers, health professionals, and the general public face growing concerns about environmental matters, particularly those related to "toxic" chemicals and their effects on public health. Toxic Risks explores the political, popular, and regulatory aspects of toxicity and contrasts them with scientifically established facts.

Francis explores and fully explains the fundamentals of environmental toxicology, the ecological impact on pollutants, and the effects of pollutants on human health. He clearly covers air pollution and global ecosystems...neurotoxicity... genetic toxicology...and social issues associated with environmental toxins.
Francis organizes the text around case studies which illustrate the hazards associated with particular substances and demonstrate the multidisciplinary approach that is essential to any effort to clean up or prevent contamination. Over 100 tables and illustrations support the vital information presented.

Industry experts examine methods for complying with new effluent limitations and implementing toxicity evaluation, toxicity testing, and toxicity reduction and present demonstrative case histories.

This book shows how to evaluate a reservoir, determine requirements, and design a storage facility for peak potential.

EPA issued regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act to address leaking underground storage tanks. The staff of Pegasus Environmental Services explains those rules and demands of the estimated three-and-a-half-million UST systems in the United States. Topics covered include inspections and sampling, corrosion protection, leak detection and closure.

This important new reference/text provides fundamental information on the theory of major drinking water treatment processes and practical examples from real situations-synthesizing both to create guidelines for the design of unit processes that operate within an overall framework for water treatment plants.

With the reauthorization of the Clean Air Act, environmental managers must know how to calculate and report emissions of volatile organic compounds. This manual will simplify that task considerably, providing detailed answers to more than 50 challenges managers are likely to encounter. Among its topics are calculation basics, surface coating problems and answers, and procedures for certifying quantities of VOCs emitted by paints, inks or other coatings.
