Pollutant Fate and Transport in Environmental Multimedia

By: Frank M. Dunnivant,Elliot Anders

Bridges the gaps between regulatory, engineering, and science disciplines in order to comprehensively cover pollutant fate and transport in environmental multimedia This book presents and integrates all aspects of fate and transport: chemistry, modeling, various forms of assessment, and the environmental legal framework. It approaches each of these topics initially from a conceptual perspective before explaining the concepts in terms of the math necessary to model the problem so that students of all levels can learn and eventually contribute to the advancement of water quality science. The first third of Pollutant Fate and Transport in Environmental Multimedia is dedicated to the relevant aspects of chemistry behind the fate and transport processes. It provides relatively simple examples and problems to teach these principles. The second third of the book is based on the conceptual derivation and the use of common models to evaluate the importance of model parameters and sensitivity analysis; complex equation derivations are given in appendices. Computer exercises and available simulators teach and enforce the concepts and logic behind fate and transport modeling. The last third of the book is focused on various aspects of assessment (toxicology, risk, benefit-cost, and life cycle) and environmental legislation in the US, Europe, and China. The book closes with a set of laboratory exercises that illustrate chemical and fate and transport concepts covered in the text, with example results for most experiments. Features more introductory material on past environmental disasters and the continued need to study environmental chemistry and engineering Covers chemical toxicology with various forms of assessment, United States, European, and Chinese regulations, and advanced fate and transport modeling and regulatory implications Provides a conceptual and relatively simple mathematical approach to fate and transport modeling, yet complex derivations of most equations are given in appendices Integrates the use of numerous software packages (pC-pH, EnviroLab Simulators, Water, Wastewater, and Global Issues), and Fate©2016 Contains numerous easy-to-understand examples and problems along with answers for most end-of-the-chapter problems, and simulators for answers to fate and transport questions Includes numerous companion laboratory experiments with EnviroLab Requiring just a basic knowledge of algebra and first-year college chemistry to start, Pollutant Fate and Transport in Environmental Multimedia is an excellent textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate faculty and students studying environmental engineering and science.

Essential Methods of Instrumental Analysis

By: Frank M. Dunnivant,Jake W. Ginsbach

Intuitively organized textbook aligned to common analytical instrumentation courses for undergraduate students Through an analytical approach, Essential Methods of Instrumental Analysis provides an expansive overview of common instruments and methods and their applications for undergraduate students, integrating experimental protocols with real result examples to deliver a well-rounded understanding of the inner workings of the instruments and enabling students to evaluate the success of their experiments and create scientific figures. In addition to detailed coverage of specific instruments, the book discusses analytical laboratory practices, instrument maintenance, statistics, and real-world lab experiments with previous student results. Each analytical method section includes extensive sample preparation information, rather than a simple stand-alone chapter offering generic discussions not connected to specific methods. This book conveniently organizes content by analyte class (inorganic and organic) in a way that is intuitive to a student and aligned with relevant courses. Ancillaries including .mp4 videos, instructor PowerPoint slides, and animations are included on a companion website. Written by an experienced professor and tested and refined over years in his courses since 2008, Essential Methods of Instrumental Analysis includes information on sample topics such as: Proper laboratory protocols for analytical instrumentation, covering chemical reagents, glassware, calibration techniques, and figures of merit Optical physics, covering the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with instrument components and sample molecules, relaxation processes, reflection, diffraction, dispersion, and refraction Flame atomic absorption and flame emission spectrometry, covering optical radiation sources, mirrors, choppers, burner heads, and doppler broadening Gas and liquid chromatography, covering gaseous, liquid, soil-sediment, and biological samples, analyte recovery, chromatography theory, injectors, columns and ovens, common detectors, and mass spectrometers Focusing on contrasts and comparisons across multiple types of instruments in a way distinct from similar texts, Essential Methods of Instrumental Analysis is an essential textbook for students in advanced undergraduate courses in related programs of study.

A Basic Introduction to Pollutant Fate and Transport

An Integrated Approach with Chemistry, Modeling, Risk Assessment, and Environmental Legislation

By: Frank M. Dunnivant,Elliot Anders

A uniquely accessible text on environmental modeling designed for both students and industry personnel Pollutant fate and modeling are becoming increasingly important in both regulatory and scientific areas. However,the complexity of the software and models often act as an inhibitor to the advancement of water quality science. A Basic Introduction to Pollutant Fate and Transport fills the need for a basic instructional tool for students and environmental professionals who lack the rigorous mathematical background necessary to derive the governing fate and transport equations. Taking a refreshingly simple approach to the subject that requires only a basic knowledge of algebra and first-year college chemistry, the book presents and integrates all of the aspects of fate and transport, including chemistry, modeling, risk assessment, and relevant environmental legislation; approaching each topic first conceptually before introducing the math necessary to model it. The first half of the book is dedicated to the chemistry and physics behind the fate and transport models, while the second half teaches and reinforces the logical concepts underlying fate and transport modeling. This better prepares students for support jobs in the environmental arena surrounding chemical industry and Superfund sites. Contributing to the book's ease of use are: An extremely user-friendly software program, Fate, which uses basic models to predict the fate and transport of pollutants in lakes, rivers, groundwater, and atmospheric systems The use of "canned" models to evaluate the importance of model parameters and sensitivity analysis A wealth of easy-to-understand examples and problems A chapter on environmental legislation in the United States and Europe A set of lab exercises, as well as a downloadable set of teaching aids A much-needed basic text for contemporary hydrology or environmental chemistry courses and support courses forthe environmental industry, this is a valuable desk reference for educators and industry professionals.

Environmental Success Stories

Solving Major Ecological Problems and Confronting Climate Change

By: Frank Dunnivant

Unlike many titles on environmental issues that portend a dark future, Environmental Success Stories delves into the most daunting ecological and environmental challenges humankind has faced and shows how scientists, citizens, and a responsive public sector have dealt with them successfully. In addition to presenting the basic chemical and environmental science underlying problems like providing clean drinking water, removing DDT and lead from agriculture and our homes, and curtailing industrial pollution, this book also discusses the political actors, agency regulators, and community leaders who have collaborated to enact effective legislation. Sharing the stories of the people, organizations, and governments who have addressed these problems successfully, Frank M. Dunnivant explains how we might confront the world's largest and most complex environmental crisis: climate change. Now is the time for rededicated scientific exploration and enlightened citizen action to save our environment, and Dunnivant's book offers a stirring call to action.
