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 managementAir pollutionWater pollutionPollution, 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.Air pollution.Water pollution.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
