Introduction to environmental engineering

---

Following the format of previous editions, the fifth edition of Introduction to Environ¬mental Engineering is designed for use in an introductory sophomore-level environmen¬tal engineering course with sufficient depth to allow its use in more advanced courses. We assume that the book will be used in one of the first environmental engineering courses encountered by the student. As such, it provides the fundamental science and engineering principles that instructors in more advanced courses may assume are common knowledge for an advanced undergraduate.
The fifth edition has been reorganized. New chapters on risk assessment, water chemistry, and sustainability and green engineering are included. The risk assessment chapter includes material that was formerly in the chapter on hazardous waste manage¬ment. It now includes introductory material on probability and risk that is used both in this chapter and in the chapters on water resources engineering and sustainability.
The water chemistry material that was formerly included with water treatment is now presented as a separate chapter. More environmental chemistry concepts are introduced at the beginning of the chapters in which they are relevant. This format integrates the chemistry fundamentals with their application to the subject matter of the chapter. It provides the student with the tools to analyze and understand the environmental engineering issues described in the chapter as well as providing an immediate feedback of the relevance of the basic chemistry. There are over 100 end-of-chapter chemistry-related problems spread throughout the text.
A new chapter on sustainability and green engineering focuses on water resources and energy. Population growth and climate change implications are discussed. This chapter uses water resource engineering concepts presented in Chapter 4 to discuss floods and droughts. Energy conservation measures in building design, water, and wastewater treatment are highlighted.
The Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination for civil and environmental engineering has been highlighted as a focal point in this edition. Seventy percent of the topics included in the environmental engineering specific Fundamentals of Engi¬neering (FE) examination are covered in Introduction to Environmental Engineering. These include the following subject areas: ethics in Chapter 1; mass balance in Chapter 2; hydrology and watershed processes in Chapter 4; water and wastewater engineering in Chapters 6, 7, and 8; air quality engineering in Chapter 9; the noise pollution aspects of occupational and health safety in Chapter 10; solid and hazard¬ous waste engineering in Chapters 11 and 12; radiological health, safety, and waste management in Chapter 13. We have identified equations in Introduction to Environ¬mental Engineering that also appear in the Fundamentals of Engineering Supplied-Reference Handbook; these are identified with the FE flag icon. A website has been developed to assist the students in locating similar equations in the Handbook. In addition, at the end of each chapter we have supplied typical FE exam formatted problems for the students to work.
