Relating to both physical and chemical properties. treatment processes. Ed. by Lawrence K. Wang et al. Humana Press Inc. 2006 690 pages $195.00 Hardcover Handbook of environmental engineering; v.4 TD170 Wang et al. (associated with Lenox Institute of Water Technology, Cleveland State U., and other corporations) compile 18 essays on physicochemical treatment processes for air, noise, and thermal pollution problems. Intended for environmental engineers and scientists, civil and chemical engineers, professors, researchers, students, and managers, the volume focuses on technology and costs of abatement, using a multithematic approach and relating engineering to fundamental sciences. Based on the form of pollution--gas, solid, liquid, and noise--topics include portable water aeration aeration /aer·a·tion/ (ar-a´shun) 1. the exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen by the blood in the lungs. 2. the charging of a liquid with air or gas. aer·a·tion n. air stripping, microscreening, fluoridation fluoridation (fl  r'ĭdā`shən), process of adding a fluoride to the water supply of a community to preserve the teeth of the inhabitants. and defluoridation, ion exchange ion exchangen.
