1. And What Is Engineering?
Engineering is a profession that applies mathematics and science to utilize the properties
of matter and sources of energy to create useful structures, machines, products, systems,
and processes.
Environmental engineering is manifest by sound engineering thought and practice in the

solution of problems of environmental sanitation, notably in the provision of safe,
palatable, and ample public water supplies; the proper disposal of or recycle of
wastewater and solid wastes: the adequate drainage of urban and rural areas for proper
sanitation; and the control of water, soil, and atmospheric pollution, and the social and
environmental impact of these solutions. Furthermore it is concerned with engineering
problems in,tne field of pUblic health, such control of arthropod-borne diseases, the
elimination of industrial health hazards, and the vision of adequate sanitation in urban,
rural, and recreational areas, and the effect of logical advances on the environment
(ASCE, 1977).

A Short Outline of This Book

Wastewater treatment is the subject of Chapter 6 __ Here, we look athow we can remove
pollutants that reduce the quality of the lake or stream. Our emphasis isทon municipal
wastewater treatment.
In Chapters 7 and 8, we turn to the control of atmospheric pollution and noise control. After a
brief introduction to the health effects and other environmental impacts of air pollutants and
noise, we examine transport processes that carry pollutants from their source to people, as well
as some methods of control
Solid waste is the topic of Chapter 9. Collection, disposal, and recycling of solid waste
are fundamental needs of our complex urban society. This chapter will present some of the
tools for understanding and solving problems in solid waste management.
Hazardous waste is the topic of Chapter 10. Methods of dealing with abandoned hazardous
waste sites and managing the wastes we are continually generating are discussed. We examine
some alternatives for treatment of these wastes as an application of the technologies addressed
in earlier chapters.
The final chapter is a brief examination of ionizing radiation. A brief introduction to
health effects of radiation is followed by a discussion of management techniques for both
radioactive waste and x-rays.
The appendices provide tables of the properties of air, water, and selected chemicals.
Tables at the inside front and back covers provide a list of atomic masses, the periodic table,
conversion factors, and the International System of Units (SI) naming convention for factors
of 10.

Unhappy with the progress in implementing RCRA, Congress in 1984 passed the Hazardous and

significantly increased. Under the legislation:
