Features: To reflect the new content and writing style of environmental textbooks from abroad, as well as to improve students' ability to read professional literature and obtain information, we have selected some outstanding environmental textbooks from abroad to form a series of photocopied and translated editions of university environmental education textbooks. This book is one of them. The selected textbooks have been widely used abroad and most have been reprinted. The book not only introduces concepts, principles, and technical methods, provides rich data, but also reflects the different academic perspectives of the authors. This book serves as the textbook for the introductory course on environmental technology. It covers a wide range of environmental topics, introducing knowledge related to public health, ecology, geology, and soil science, with a focus on water and wastewater, solid and hazardous waste, and air and noise pollution control. The book also introduces the new developments and current hot issues in environmental technology, along with the latest standards, regulations, and statistics. There are numerous practical case studies, accompanied by a wealth of tables, photos, and examples. Each chapter includes review questions, exercises, and related website introductions. This book emphasizes fundamental concepts and practical applications, offering concise yet comprehensive content that is easy to read. Students without prior knowledge of biology, chemistry, geology, or hydraulics can understand the material, making it suitable for instructors to cover broad topics in fewer class hours. This book is suitable as a textbook for environmental-related majors and municipal engineering programs in higher education institutions, as well as a reference for relevant technical professionals.
