Engineering the risks of hazardous wastes

Many engineers are faced daily with hazardous wastes, from the chemical and process industries, waste treatment system management and design to the clean-up of contaminated sites.

This is a reference and text that blends together theoretical explanations, techniques and case study examples to complement practical knowledge.

These include problems with solutions, case studies of current and landmark hazardous waste problems, and reference sections that should be of interest to the practising engineer.
