    "…a timely work that contains significant and valuable material for the practitioner." — Kenneth J. Skipka, RTP Environmental Associates, Inc., Westbury, New York, USA "…covers pollution prevention in a most comprehensive manner, and is well suited for both experienced professionals and those new to the field. The illustrative examples sprinkled throughout the book and the wealth of case studies are particularly valuable and well complement the material in the book." — Anthony J. Buonicore, The Buonicore Group, Trumbull, Connecticut, USA "…an excellent text, covering the title issue in a most comprehensive way in terms of both breadth and depth, and enhanced by application examples." —John D. McKenna, ETS, Inc., Roanoke, Virginia, USA "This is undoubtedly the best environmental book that has crossed my desk in years. It contains everything one would want to know to aspire to know regarding pollution prevention, sustainability, green chemistry, green engineering, industrial ecology, and many more topics on the horizon of environmental research and development. This book is an absolute must for anyone working in the environmental field." —Rita D’Aquino, Crown A/C Heat & Power Corporation, Yonkers, New York, USA

    Author Biography

    Dr. R. Ryan Dupont is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, a Research Associate at the Utah Water Research Laboratory, and the Head of the Division of Environmental Engineering. His research interests focus on the bioremediation of petroleum and chlorinated solved contaminated soil and groundwater. He has recently been heavily involved in the use of natural attenuation and bioaugmentation for site remediation, and in the use of DNA probes for describing microbial community response to engineering management controls applied for site remediation. Ryan also has interests and expertise in soil vapor extraction and soil gas monitoring, pollution prevention and life-cycle analysis, and municipal solid waste management issues. Awards and honors include: Sigma Xi, 2000; ASCE Utah Section Outstanding Professor of the Year, 1998; Utah State University Old Main Society, 1993; College of Engineering and CEE Departmental Researcher of the Year, 1991-1992 Academic Year; ASEE Outstanding Young Engineering Educator, 1988.
