Environmental Science and Pollution Control Technologies

Environmental Science and Pollution Control Technologies illuminates the increasingly critical disciplines that address environmental degradation, offering a detailed account of how human activity has shaped and endangered, natural ecosystems. It examines the causes and consequences of resource depletion, climate change and global warming, and outlines key technologies and treatment methods as practical responses. From solid waste management to environmental legislation, and from mitigation strategies to tools like EMS, EIA and LCA, the book provides essential insights supported by clear illustrations. A dedicated chapter on fossil fuel phase-out and decarbonisation responds to the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gases. This book underscores the ‘Three Rs’ as essential to sustainable practice and examines how environmental pollution affects human well-being. Its interdisciplinary approach makes it an indispensable resource for students and scholars of chemical engineering and environmental science.
