Environmental Engineering: Wastewater and Air Pollution Control

Managing municipal waste and controlling air emissions are some of the most critical challenges facing modern environmental engineers. This text-based course provides a clear, structured introduction to the essential scientific principles and design calculations behind waste disposal and air quality control. By working through the material, you will transition from understanding basic environmental chemistry to analyzing complete treatment systems, preparing you for both academic assessments and real-world engineering applications. What you'll learn: - Understand the fundamental characteristics of wastewater and the biology of sewage treatment. - Design municipal wastewater treatment units, including primary sedimentation and activated sludge systems. - Analyze solid waste management techniques, emphasizing modern resource recovery and circular economy principles. - Evaluate air pollution control technologies for particulate matter and gaseous pollutants. - Apply modern air quality monitoring concepts and emission standard calculations. - Solve foundational engineering problems related to environmental disposal and dispersion modeling. The course begins with core definitions and environmental chemistry basics before moving systematically through liquid waste treatment, solid waste management, and air pollution control systems. It is designed specifically for civil and environmental engineering students, exam candidates, and professionals seeking a comprehensive, foundational text-only guide with no prior advanced prerequisites required.
