Biological Processes Affecting Contaminant Transport and Fate; 8.1 Biological Effects on Pollutants; 8.2 The Overall Process of Biodegradation8.3 Microbial Activity and BiodegradationThis unique book integrates a large number of subjects in environmental studies and provides a realistic and objective evaluation of pollution as a price we pay for a modern economy. It focuses on the scientific assessment of environmental quality by developing a framework of principles that can be applied to any environmental problem. It addresses tactical issues for managers and government workers such as remediation, environmental monitoring, risk assessment, and management. It can be used by professionals as well as undergraduate students.* Emphasizes conceptual understanding of Environmental and pollution scienceEnvironmental sciencesPollutionEnvironmental sciences.Pollution.628Brusseau Mark L285226Gerba Charles P.1945-771765Pepper Ian L285225MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812004003321Environmental & pollution science3951609UNINA
