Synopsis

Air Pollution Control Engineering for Environmental Engineers is a concise yet comprehensive book that can be read and used from cover to cover, presenting topics that are fundamental for environmental engineering students, engineers, and professionals in the fields of air pollution control engineering and management. It covers topics including regulatory approaches to managing air pollution, emissions calculations, and control technologies for various air pollutants. It also presents practical and contemporary issues, such as fugitive emission and leak detection and repair (LDAR). Subjects in the specifications of Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and Professional Engineering (PE) exams are also covered. With real-world engineering design and calculation examples, the reader’s understanding and common sense needed for air pollution control and management will be enhanced.

About the Author

Dr. Jeff (Jih-Fen) Kuo worked in the environmental engineering industries for over 10 years before joining the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at California State University, Fullerton, in 1995. His areas of research in environmental engineering include dechlorination of halogenated aromatics by ultrasound, fines/bacteria migration through porous media, biodegradability of heavy hydrocarbons, surface properties of composite mineral oxides, kinetics of activated carbon adsorption, wastewater filtration, THM formation potential of ion exchange resins, UV disinfection, sequential chlorination, nitrification/denitrification, removal of target compounds using nanoparticles, persulfate oxidation of persistent chemicals, microwave oxidation for wastewater treatment, landfill gas recovery and utilization, greenhouse gases control technologies, fugitive methane emissions from the gas industry, and stormwater runoff treatment. He received a B.S. degree in chemical engineering from National Taiwan University, an M.S. in chemical engineering from the University of Wyoming, an M.S. in petroleum engineering, and an M.S. and a Ph.D. in environmental engineering from the University of Southern California. He is a professional civil, mechanical, and chemical engineer registered in California.
