THE YAWS HANDBOOK OF ENVIROMENTAL AND GREEN ENGINEERING

This extensive technical book contains all the basic environmental and green properties of hydrocarbons and chemicals that are advantageous in design, operations, research, development, manufacturing and safety for the petroleum, chemical and environmental engineer.  Yaws brilliantly covers the Henry's law constant for gases in water, the most important environmental application involving water and a must-have for all engineers. Other chapters involve: 

• Octanol-water partition coefficient, a significant instrument of control in ascertaining the environmental fate of substances
• Soil sorption coefficient, an important property in determining the fate and transport of chemicals in soils and sediments
• And the threshold limit value and permissible exposure limit, which was established by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and is significant for meeting governmental regulations.

Providing over 4,000 hydrocarbons and chemicals, this well balanced handbook greatly exceeds the coverage that other chemical and environmental books render and proves that Carl L. Yaws still remains a monumental pillar of education for the engineering community.
