Innovations in Environmental Engineering
About the Book Series
The ‘Innovations in Environmental Engineering’ Series is devoted to the publication of monographs that aim to integrate environmental engineering and the concept of sustainable development, by counteracting negative changes in the environment with technological methods of neutralizing pollutants into the environment. Books in the series typically cover the following topics: chemical/biological treatment of liquid and solid wastes, waste mineralization, acid rain, air pollution neutralization, indoor air pollution prevention, and risk analysis. Particular attention is paid to the selection of new engineering methods enabling the neutralization of pollutants in particular parts of the environment: air, water, soil, as well as modification of production process in the direction of reducing the emission of pollutants in to the environment.
