Introduction to Environmental Engineering

---

Following the format of previous editions, the fifth edition of Introduction to Environmental Engineering is designed for use in an introductory sophomore level environmental engineering course with sufficient depth to allow its use in more advanced courses. The fifth edition has been recognized. 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 management. 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.rnThe 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 sperad throughout the text.rnA 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 desig, water, and wastewater treatment are highlighted.rnThe 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 Engineering (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 hazardous waste engineering in Chapters 11 and 12; radiological health, safety, and waste management in Chapter 13. rnBecause the FE exam uses both SI units and U.S. Customary System (USCS) units, USCS units are introduced in Chapter 1 and then utilized in numerous example problems as well as the FE exam formatted problems. A conversion factor table is presented in Appendix C.rnThe concept of materials and energy balance as a tool for understanding environmental processes and solving environmental engineering problems is carried through the text. This concept is introduced in a stand-alone chapter and then applied for conservative systems in hydrology (hydrologic cycle, development of the rational formula, and reservoir design). This theme is expanded to include sludge mass balance in water treatment (Chapter 6), and the DO sag curve in Chapter 7. The design equations for completely mixed activated sludge system and a more elaborate sludge mass balance are developed in Chapter 8. Mass balance is used to account for the production of sulfur dioxide from the combustion of coal and in the development of absorber design equations in Chapter 9. In Chapter 12, a mass balance approach is used for waste audit. There are over 100 materials and energy balance end-of-chapter problems spread throughout the text.rnEach chapter concludes with a list of review items, the traditional end-of-chapter problems, and, perhaps less traditional, discussion questions and FE formatted problems. The review items have been written in the objective" format of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Instructors will find this particularly helpful for directing student review for exams
