Emerging Technologies in Environmental Science and Engineering : International Conference

International Conference on Emerging Technologies in Environmental Science and Engineering


October 26 – 28, 2009 Organized by Department of Civil Engineering Z.H.College of Engineering Technology, A.M.U., Aligarh  in conjunction with THE UNIVERSITY OF TOLEDO OHIO, U.S.A

Venue

Zakir Husain College of  Engineering & Technology  Aligarh Muslim University Aligarh-202002

Preamble


Environmental Pollution has emerged as a serious problem in the past few decades. The increasing population has further burdened our environmental resources and intensified the problems already existing. Industrial processes, power generation, transformation and various other demands of a modern lifestyle have resulted in generation of many chemicals and their byproducts that deteriorate the quality of air, water and soil. The indiscriminate use of chemicals as pesticides has introduced persistent toxicants in the environment. Over the last four decades there have been various advances in the field of environmental engineering. In order to discuss

the latest environmental related developments in this field, a three-day conference entitled, “International Conference on Emerging technologies In Environmental Science and Engineering”, is being organized. The conference is an effort to bring together the scientists, researchers and engineers to share ideas and experiences in this field. Leading experts will present their research findings and would discuss the emerging technologies in the field of environmental engineering. Scientists and experts will present the latest theories, concepts and practical solutions for environmental management problems through oral and poster presentations.
