Filled with the rich experience from the author's years of workin environmental permitting, the coverage features:
* An introduction to the major concepts and practice in thepermitting process
* Key concepts in environmental chemistry such as the ideal gaslaw, vapor pressure, reaction stoichiometry, and heat effects
* Air pollution control
* Water/wastewater
* Solid/hazardous waste
* Noise generation, propagation, and control
* Radiation/radioactive decay
