Environmental Engineering III

ABSTRACT

Environmental engineering has a leading role in the elimination of ecological threats, and can deal with a wide range of technical and technological problems due to its interdisciplinary character. It uses the knowledge of the basic sciences � biology, chemistry, biochemistry and physics � to neutralize pollution in all the elements of the environm
