| Abstract
|
:
|
Incorporating material from engineering and microbiology, Bitton (environmental engineering sciences, U. of Florida) introduces students in environmental sciences and environmental engineering programs to the biological treatment of hazardous wastes and the detection and control of new pathogens. He covers the fundamentals of microbiology, elements of public health microbiology, process microbiology, biotransformations and toxic impact of chemicals in wastewater treatment plants, and the public health aspects of the disposal of wastewater effluents and sludges on land and in the marine environment. The new edition has been updated to reflect recent findings. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
