Description
Many well-intentioned land
development projects are conceived, planned, and carried to
completion in an inadequate environmental context. The unintended consequences of
such projects often include contamination and degradation of
streams, forests, soils, and entire natural systems. Dealing with
the challenges of maintaining a decent balance between
manÂ’s needs and a sustainable environment has become
the province of specialized professionals and technicians trained
and equipped to address the complexities of environmental
contamination.
Environmental Treatment Technologies
for Hazardous and Medical Wastes provides a systematic
framework for analyzing the full range of outcomes that may
result from many of the components of urban development and for
remedying their adverse effects. The book also provides details
on various waste treatment technologies for hazardous and medical
wastes.
Book Contents
Containment Technology
Bioremediation
Soil Washing
Incineration
Thermal Treatment
Vapor Extraction
Other Physical/Chemical Treatments
The book also includes a description of the technology, flow
diagram and other technology specific information. With this
coverage the book would be useful for the environmental
scientists and engineers, scientists at the Pollution Control
Boards, NGOÂ’s , hospitals and medical organizations
and students of environmental engineering and sciences.
