4、dy of people and how they live together as families, tribes(群落,部落), communities (社区), races (种族), and nations.,The nature sience deals with the study of nature and the physical world. It includes such diverse disciplines as biology, chemistry, geology, physics, and environmental science.,7,2. What i
5、s the book about?,Part Introduction to Environmental Engineering,The objective,Description of environmental,The objective of this book is to introduce engineering and science students to the interdisciplinary(跨学科,各学科) study of environmental problems: their causes, why they are of concern, and how we
6、 can control them.,The primary coverage,Information on the basis causes of environmental disturbances (困扰),Basis scientific knowledge necessary to understand the nature of environmental problems and to be able to quantify them,8,Part Introduction to Environmental Engineering,The primary coverage,Cur
7、rent state of the technology environmental control in its application to water, air and pollution problems,Considerable gaps in our current scientific knowledge of understanding and controlling many of the complex interactions between human activities and nature,Many environmental problems which cou
8、ld be eliminated or reduced by the application of current technology, but which are not dealt with because of societys lack of will to do so, or in many instances because of a lack of resources to do so.,9,3. Some Definitions,Part Introduction to Environmental Engineering,Environmental,Environmental
9、 is the physical and biotic habitat (栖息地) which surrounds us; that which we can see, hear, touch, smell, and taste. When the goal of improving environmental quality is taken to be improving human wellbeing (健康,幸福), the word environment broadens to include all kinds of social, economic, and cultural
10、aspects.,System is a set or arrangement of things so related or connected as to form a unit or organic whole; as, a solar system, irrigation system, water supply system, the world or universe.,System,10,3. Some Definitions,Part Introduction to Environmental Engineering,Engineering,Engineering is a p
11、rofession (职业、专业) that applies science and mathematics to make the properties (特性) of matter and sources of energy useful in structures, machines, products, systems, and processes.,Pollution can be defined as an undesirable change in the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of the air,
12、water, or land that can harmfully affect the health, survival, or activities of humans or other living organisms.,Pollution,11,Part Introduction to Environmental Engineering,Environmental engineering is manifest (显示,表明) by sound Engineering thought and practice in the solution of problems of Environ
13、mental sanitation (卫生系统或设备), notably (尤其) in the provision of safe, palatable (可口的), and ample (足够) public water supply; the proper disposal of or recycle of wasterwater and solid wastes; the adequate drainage of urban and rural (田园,乡村),areas for proper sanitation; and the control of water, soil, an

16、asons, such subfields (子域) as air pollution, water supply, wastewater disposal, and solid waste disposal are often dealt with separately by governmental agencies.,13,3. Interaction of systems,Part Introduction to Environmental Engineering,Unfortunately, many important environmental problems are not
17、confined (局限于) to an air, water, or land system, but involve interactions between systems.,A current example is the acid rain problem stemming from (根源) the emission (排放) of sulfur dioxide (二氧化硫) and nitrogen oxide gases into the atmosphere from the stacks (烟囱) of generating stations (发电厂), smelters
18、 (熔炉), and automobile exhausts (汽车尾气) 。,These gases are then transported by air currents (气流) over wide regions. Rainfall “washes them out”, creating acid rain which is harmful to aquatic life (水生生物), forests, and agricultural crops.,14,4. Environmental Problems,Part Introduction to Environmental En
19、gineering,Many major improvements to our standard of living can be attributed to the application of science and technology.,With these improvements, however, have come disturbing side effects, such as lost arable land (耕地), disappearing forests, environmental pollution, and new organisms resistant t
20、o controls (微生物滋长 ).,Environmental problems are always interrelated. Sometimes a solution to one problem actually creates another problem.,15,4. Environmental Problems,Part Introduction to Environmental Engineering,For example, when people are sick and dying from disease, it is natural to want to im
21、prove human health.,When health is improved and infant mortality (婴儿死亡率) is reduced, a population explosion may result.,To feed this growing pollution, natural habitats (自然栖息地) are often destroyed by turning them into farmland.,As natural habitats are destroyed, the wild plants, predatory animals (食
22、肉动物), and parasites (寄生生物) that once lived there are killed as well.,16,4. Environmental Problems,Part Introduction to Environmental Engineering,Because of the lack of predators and parasites, outbreaks of insect pests (害虫) become more common.,Farmers use pesticides (农药) to control the pests and pro
23、tect the crops, but in the process the environment becomes polluted.,The development of this entire (整个的) cycle in itself consumes fossil fuel (化石燃料) supplies that are becoming scarce.,In addition, when fuels are burned, air pollutants are generated.,17,4. Environmental Problems,Part Introduction to
24、 Environmental Engineering,How does a person begin to study such a network of interlocking (相关联的) problems? To make the task (工作、任务) a bit more manageable, we should recognize what environmental problems people are up against.,What environmental problems are people up against?,Overpopulation,Polluti
25、on,Depletion of Resources,Changes in the Global Condition,The War,18,Part Introduction to Environmental Engineering,Overpopulation,Overpopulation may be defined as the presence in a given area of more people than can be supported adequately by the resources available in that area.,Many people argue
26、that the population explosion that has taken place in the twentieth century is now the most important problem we face.,It is important first because overpopulation is a major cause of all environmental problems: Fewer people would use less oil, chop down fewer trees, and pour less sewage into rivers
27、.,19,Part Introduction to Environmental Engineering,Overpopulation,Second, overpopulation and the starvation(饥饿) that accompanies it are generally higher on our list of priorities than other environmental concerns.,It is hard to argue that an area should be set aside as parkland to preserve(保护) a va

Aerobic treatment of waste is the natural degradat
29、ion and purification process in which bacteria that thrive in oxygen-rich environment break down and digest the the waste. Aerobic bacteria are like humans in that they require oxygen to survive and thrive. This is the primary difference between aerobic systems and septic systems, you see. Septic sy
30、stems depend on much less efficient anaerobic bacteria.,22,专业英语翻译理论,During this oxidation process, pollutants are broken down into carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), nitrates, sulphates and biomass (micro-organisms). By optimizing the oxygen supply with so-called aerators, the process can be signifi
31、cantly accelerated. Of all biological waste treatment method, aerobic digestion is the most widespead process used throughout the world (more than 95%). Aerobic bacteria demand oxygen to decompose dissolved pollutants. Large amounts of pollutants require large quantities of bacteria; hence the deman

37、(H2O), nitrates, sulphates and biomass (micro-organisms).
