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. 606 $aPollution 606 $aEnvironmental sciences 606 $aEnergy 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aAir pollution 606 $aWater pollution 606 $aPollution, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35000 606 $aEnvironmental Science and Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37000 606 $aEnergy, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/100000 606 $aEnvironmental Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009 606 $aAtmospheric Protection/Air Quality Control/Air Pollution$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35010 606 $aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35040 615 0$aPollution. 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences. 615 0$aEnergy. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aAir pollution. 615 0$aWater pollution. 615 14$aPollution, general. 615 24$aEnvironmental Science and Engineering. 615 24$aEnergy, general. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aAtmospheric Protection/Air Quality Control/Air Pollution. 615 24$aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution. 676 $a363.7 702 $aCao$b Giacomo$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aOrrų$b Roberto$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298384703321 996 $aCurrent Environmental Issues and Challenges$92543302 997 $aUNINA
