Books in Environmental sciences

The Environmental Sciences titles present critical research and insights into the complex interactions within natural ecosystems, climate systems, and human impacts on the environment. Covering areas such as biodiversity, sustainability, climate change, and resource management, these titles support scientific discovery and practical solutions for addressing today’s most pressing environmental challenges. This collection is essential for researchers, policymakers, and students dedicated to advancing environmental understanding and stewardship

  • How to Meet Requirements for Hazardous Waste Landfill Design, Construction and Closure

    • 1st Edition
    • S.R. Venkateswaran
    • English
    A summary of existing and proposed EPA regulations and guidances on the design of double liners and leachate collection and removal systems, leak detection systems, final cover, and construction quality assurance for hazardous waste landfills.

  • Alternative Formulations and Packaging to Reduce Use of Chlorofluorocarbons

    • 1st Edition
    • T.P. Nelson + 1 more
    • English
    This book describes alternative formulations and packaging techniques for the reduction or elimination of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) use as an aerosol propellant. Use of CFCs in specific categories of aerosols considered "nonessential" was banned by the U.S. in 1978. Recent renewed interest in further reducing worldwide production and consumption of CFCs, and other chemicals implicated in the depletion of the earth's stratospheric ozone layer, is responsible for this study, which covers currently exempted and excluded CFC aerosol applications and their alternatives.

  • Stabilization and Solidification of Hazardous Wastes

    • 1st Edition
    • M.M. Arozarena
    • English
    Provides designers and engineers with general guidance necessary to judge the feasibility of stabilization/solidi... (S/S) technology for the control of pollutant migration from land disposed hazardous wastes.

  • Detection of Subsurface Hazardous Waste Containers by Nondestructive Techniques

    • 1st Edition
    • Arthur E. Lord + 1 more
    • English
    A full and rich guide to nondestructive means of testing subsurface containers with hazardous waste.

  • Retrofitting Publicly-Owned Treatment Works for Compliance

    • 1st Edition
    • Bob A. Hegg + 2 more
    • English
    Retrofitting Publicly-Owned Treatment Works for Compliance is intended as a source document for individuals responsible for improving the performance of an existing, non-complying wastewater treatment facility. Described are: 1) methods to evaluate an existing facility's capability to achieve improved performance, 2) a process for systematically improving its performance, and 3) details on how to modify the facility to achieve the required levels of performance. The manual emphasizes meeting National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements for secondary treatment facilities (30 mg/L BODs and TSS).

  • Volumetric Leak Detection Methods for Underground Fuel Storage Tanks
