This Book, Environmental Engineering, is a compendium of the study of what constitutes the environment, the impact on humans, the science, technological processes and mitigation against pollution for a safe and secured environmental conducive for human habitation.
Pollution is a threat to life hence there is a dire need for greater understanding of the scientific principles underlining environmental pollution for ease of control. This is critical challenge to captains and practitioners in the industries, energy and manufacturing services as well as at domestic front on waste disposal management and their regulatory authorities.
It covers a wide range of environmental issues on generation of wastes: legislative concern, qualitative evaluation, pollutants and control, material handling, equipment for waste generation, transfer and treatment, energy recovery from wastes, environmental resources management and ISO codes, as well as Environmental Impact and Assessment. The other interesting features are the Tutorial and Practical Challenges for the students review and exercises.
The book contains sixteen chapters, and written according to the stipulated curriculum guidelines for tertiary institutions of higher learning. Research works, publications, various textbooks, work processes and data record of some industries have been used to suit both the theoretical and practical needs of students as well as making the book relevant for professional usages, Africa and the rest of the world must focus on waste minimization, energy recovery from waste and clean technology to avoid ozone depletion and consequent global warming, green house effect and climate change. The environment has direct correlation to animal and plant life, human health and human life span.
