Description
The aim of the fifth international conference of the Israel Society for Ecology and Environmental Quality was to bring together ecologists, environmentalists and environmental engineers from around the world to consider the state of the environment from a multidisciplinary perspective. These proceedings are comprised of 68 peer-reviewed papers selected from the conference on the topics of water and wastewater treatment, groundwater contamination, air pollution, environmental health, aquatic ecosytems, and terrestrial and general ecology. It was hoped that ecologists and engineers would benefit from seeing the issues from each other's perspective and this hope was furthered by the wide-ranging survey covering treatment processes and receiving waters, the impacts of, and treatment technologies for, the broad spectrum of pollutants - microbiological, chemical (organic and inorganic), industrial and municipal.
