Understanding Environmental Pollution
This undergraduate textbook examines environmental pollution ranging from our homes to the global environment. The pollutants of current major concern are examined, including plastics and electronic waste. Completely updated and with over 50% new and rewritten material, this new edition assesses the international scope of pollution, including water, climate change, acidification, energy, solid and hazardous waste, persistent chemicals, and pesticides.
Pollution prevention is emphasized throughout, but students will come to see that prevention is not enough. Both the impacts and the sources of pollution are addressed, as well as governmental, corporate, and personal responsibility for pollution. The text moves on to examine a circular economy with closed-loop systems, where by-products are reused, wastes become raw materials, water is recycled, and energy is recovered from waste energy.
