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 517 1 $aEnvironmental and pollution science 606 $aEnvironmental sciences 606 $aPollution 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences. 615 0$aPollution. 676 $a628 701 $aBrusseau$b Mark L$0285226 701 $aGerba$b Charles P.$f1945-$0771765 701 $aPepper$b Ian L$0285225 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458106303321 996 $aEnvironmental & pollution science$92111686 997 $aUNINA
