This is a good book on Air Quality. It is very infomative. I bought an older version and just needed to read some updated info.
Rating: 3 / 5
BEWARE: The Kindle download is ONLY the three page insert of the CD packaging from the CD version of the book–the cover of the CD and installation instructions. I don’t know why anyone would ever want to purchase this.
IT IS NOT A KINDLE VERSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERS HANDBOOK.
Amazon has conviced me to NEVER use my Kindle for professional texts. I am profoundly disappointed with Amazon for this amateur performance.

I own several environmental engineer textbooks, many of which focuses on either environmental planning, engineering systems, case histories & legislations, water treatment, energy, or current trends. Few books like this 1400+ page monster of a handbook focuses on all aspects of this important field. In its preface it explains why having all aspects in one bounded body is vital to the engineer student; simply the field of environemental engineering utilizes knowledge and information from other-scientific, legal, and social-science fields to solve many problems that are encountered daily whiles working to create better systems, laws and solutions. This book has everything that you will need to know to work in the field. It promotes tried and true theories used by scientists before as well as sets up the beginner students with the challenges of creating new theories and working ideas to solve current and projected problems that face us today.
I’ve bought several books in the field and learned from various sources, and this handbook is one that most of us will have to use in our final years at engineering school, and it is by far the best one ive studied from. If your school doesn’t require it, I would still reccommend it for reference material.
Although the book is pricey, you definately get what you pay for in quantity and quality. All the information is well organized and laid out so you will never get lost or confused as you read thru. And the autor sets up the book so that it can be easily accessed in sections (for reference) or carefully read thru in page order.
A must for anyone in the field!!!
