Hazardous Wastes: Assessment and Remediation (Hardocver)

An illuminating, problem-solving approach to source area analysis, environmental chemodynamics, risk assessment, and remediation

In the newly revised second edition of Hazardous Wastes: Assessment and Remediation, a team of distinguished researchers delivers a foundational and comprehensive treatment of all aspects of hazardous waste problems. The book offers two sections--one on assessment and the following on remediation--while exploring topics crucial to the study of environmental science and engineering at the senior or master's level.

This latest edition includes a new emphasis on the chemistry of emerging contaminants, including perfluorinated compounds, 1,4-dioxane, methyl tert-butyl ether, and personal care products. It also offers updated data on contaminant Threshold Limit Value, Reference Dose, Slope Factor, Reference Concentration, and Inhalation Unit Risk. New remediation chapters also provide many design problems, incorporating economic analyses and the selection of various design alternatives. Approximately 200 new end-of-chapter problems--with solutions--have been added as well.

Readers will also find:

• A thorough introduction to hazardous wastes, including discussion of pre-regulatory disposal and hazardous waste legislation
• Comprehensive discussions of common hazardous wastes, including their nomenclature, industrial uses, and disposal histories
• In-depth explorations of partitioning, sorption, and exchange at surfaces, as well as volatilization
• Extensive descriptions of the concepts of hazardous waste toxicology and quantitative toxicology

Perfect for senior- and masters-level college courses in hazardous wastes in Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering, or Chemical Engineering programs, Hazardous Wastes: Assessment and Remediation will also earn a place in the libraries of professional environmental scientists and engineers.

《危險廢物：評估與整治》第二版是一本關於源區分析、環境化學動力學、風險評估和整治的啟發性、解決問題的方法。在這本新修訂的第二版中，一個傑出研究團隊提供了對危險廢物問題的全面且基礎性的探討。該書分為兩個部分，一部分是評估，另一部分是整治，同時探討了環境科學和工程的重要主題，適合高年級或碩士級別的學生學習。

這本最新版增加了對新興污染物化學的重點介紹，包括全氟化合物、1,4-二噁烷、甲基叔丁基醚和個人護理產品。它還提供了有關污染物閾限值、參考劑量、斜率因子、參考濃度和吸入單位風險的最新數據。新的整治章節還提供了許多設計問題，包括經濟分析和各種設計方案的選擇。此外，還新增了大約200個章末問題，並提供解答。

讀者還將找到以下內容：

- 對危險廢物的全面介紹，包括對預規範處置和危險廢物立法的討論
- 對常見危險廢物的詳細探討，包括它們的命名法、工業用途和處置歷史
- 對分配、吸附和表面交換以及揮發的深入探討
- 對危險廢物毒理學和定量毒理學概念的詳細描述

這本書非常適合環境科學、環境工程、土木工程或化學工程等專業的高年級和碩士級課程，同時也適合專業環境科學家和工程師的圖書館收藏。
