About the Book

Handbook of Environmental Permitting Calculations provides an essential reference for the technical calculations to obtain environmental permits. Along with accurate explanations, the text includes helpful chemical equations, examples, and case studies to assist and illuminate calculations. Filled with the rich experience from the author's work in environmental permitting, the coverage features major concepts and practice in the environmental permitting process; environmental chemistry; air pollution control; and more. Handbook of Environmental Permitting Calculations is a must-have for anybody working on environmental planning and compliance, as well as those issuing and monitoring environmental permits.
