Die Umwelttechnologie ist da keine Ausnahme. Die Ausbildungsprogramme in Umwelttechnologie, die von PETE (Partnership for Environmental Technology Education) angeboten werden, konzentrieren sich neuerdings auf einen kombinierten Chemie-Physik-Ansatz, um Verfahren und Techniken der Umwelttechnologie umfassender zu vermitteln. Dieses Laborhandbuch ist die ideale Ergänzungslektüre zu Swansons Lehrbuch \"Integrated Chemistry and Physics\" und ist für ein 2- oder 4-jähriges Ausbildungsprogramm in Umwelttechnologie geeignet. Mit einer Fülle praktischer Beispiele.
