Introduction to Environmental Engineering; Contents; The Authors; Preface; 1: Definition, History, Discipline; 1.1 Definition of Environmental Engineering; 1.2 History and Development of Environmental Engineering; 1.3 From Environmental Chemistry and Technology to Environmental Engineering: Understanding and Diversifying Anthropogenic Environmental Influences; 1.3.1 Meaning of Pollutant Degradation; 1.3.2 Substances and Their Sources; 1.3.3 Transport and Chemical Alteration of Environmental Chemicals; 1.3.4 Reactions and Effects. 1.3.5 Examples of Lipophilic Behavior, Accumulation and Toxicity: Kinds and Reasons of Effects Caused by Organotin Compounds1.3.6 The Term "Heavy Metals"67) and Its (Purported) Chemical and Toxicological Ramifications; 1.4 How to Determine Environmental Pollution; 1.4.1 From Methods of Trace Analysis up to Understanding the Underlying Processes; 1.4.1.1 Inorganic and Organic Compounds; 1.4.1.2 Speciation and Concentration; 1.4.1.3 Quality Control of Analysis; 1.4.1.4 Accreditation of Laboratories. 1.4.2 Physical Methods in Chemical and Environmental Analysis, Modeling Ecosystems and the Role of Ecotoxicology in Integrative Environmental Sciences1.4.2.1 Analytical Chemistry; 1.4.2.2 Geographical Information Systems; 1.4.2.3 Biotest-Biological and Ecotoxicological Implications; 1.4.2.4 Locating Soil Pollution Sites by Geoelectric and Other Means; 1.5 Biological System of the Elements; 1.5.1 Specificity; 1.5.2 Essentiality; 1.5.3 Bioavailability; 1.5.4 Toxicity; 1.6 Information and Communication; 1.6.1 What Is This Thing Called Information? 1.6.2 Information Processing and Communication -- The Ratio and Relationship between Subjective and Objective Factors in Processes of Recognition1.6.3 Ways of Producing Knowledge Established in Natural Sciences Lead Us Back to Accepting and Integrating Plurality of Views and Opinions; 1.6.4 Examples from Environmental Research; 1.6.5 Performance of Brain and Modern Computers; a Comparison -- Artificial Intelligence and the Internet; 1.6.6 Emotional Intelligence; 1.6.7 How to Shape Dialogic Education Processes (DEP) as a Future Principle of Communication; 1.7 Ethical Aspects for Society. 1.7.1 A Market-Based Economy1.7.2 Democracy and Its Limitations; 1.7.3 Protocol for the Future: Grow along with Your Challenges; 1.7.3.1 Thoughts on the Future; 1.7.3.2 International Quality Ends; 1.7.3.3 Learn How to Learn; 1.7.3.4 Transborder and International Regions of Education; 1.7.3.5 Think Tanks Can Be Sites and Means of Smart Conflict Handling and Identify Integrative Solutions for Problems of Society; 1.7.3.6 How Much Time Is Left for Solutions Taking Care of and Integrating the Present Problems?; 1.7.3.7 Conclusion. 2: The Compartments of the Environment -- Structure, Function and Chemistry.
Building on the first principles of environmental chemistry, engineering, and ecology, this volume fills the need for an advanced textbook introducing the modern, integrated environmental management approach, with a view towards long-term sustainability and within the framework of international regulations. As such, it presents the classic technologies alongside innovative ones that are just now coming into widespread use, such as photochemical technologies and carbon dioxide sequestration. Numerous case studies from the fields of air, water and soil engineering describe real-life solutions to.
