The Handbook of Environmental Technology illustrates the interconnected material relationships between the environmental media of soil, water, and air. It clearly outlines the necessary measures in the areas of soil and water protection, air purification, waste reduction, noise protection, energy conservation, and the transition to renewable energy sources. Furthermore, it discusses specific environmental issues, such as the ozone layer depletion, forest dieback, or climate change, where the scientific background is not yet fully understood. The well-coordinated contributions are focused on the essentials, making the book suitable for exam preparation as well as a reference work for scientists and engineers in both academia and practice.
