Review: This book looks at environmental problems and the ‘all-inclusive global, scientific, political, legal, economic, medical and engineering bases’ to solve them. The authors put forward potential solutions to vexing problems, for the professional practising environmental engineer to select his or her area of interest and choose which solution is most appropriate for the situation. A wide range of solutions are posited, including: economic solutions, environmental engineering solutions, hydrogen energy solutions, chemical solutions, electrical and thermal solutions, alternative energy solutions, environmental health solutions, industrial collaborative solutions, and industrial ecological solutions. The problems in rural and developing countries are also addressed and an international framework for environmental solutions is set out.
