Few books currently exist that cover such a wide spectrum of topics. For this reason it is intended as a text for graduate courses in environmental science and engineering, as well as for reference by researchers and practitioners interested in the latest developments in the environmental field.PollutionEnvironmental sciencesEnergyEnvironmental managementAirPollutionWaterPollutionPollution, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35000Environmental Science and Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37000Energy, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/100000Environmental Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009Atmospheric Protection/Air Quality Control/Air Pollutionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35010Waste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollutionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35040Pollution.Environmental sciences.Energy.Environmental management.AirPollution.WaterPollution.Pollution, general.Environmental Science and Engineering.Energy, general.Environmental Management.Atmospheric Protection/Air Quality Control/Air Pollution.Waste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution.363.7Cao Giacomoedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtOrrù Robertoedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298384703321Current Environmental Issues and Challenges2543302UNINA
