So even if the bottom liner system and the cap are durable, the leachate will cause a big disaster to our environment and affect our humen's health. To avoid this condition occurring,the writer give us the new word "final storage quality facility"(最终储存特性设备)and tells us how to do in disposing waste process. Besides, he analyses the profits we will make if we take action.文摘填埋场设计和操作有两个主要的战略:(1) 稀释衰减法(2) 防漏储存法稀释衰减法策略的有效性主要依赖于其上控制和可靠的化学、物理和生物过程在浪费自己的运作,并在可预测的衰减过程中潜在的岩层。
U11、1.What is Envoronmental Science?环境科学是研究和评价环境影响的一门学科。
环境科学家们首先试图去认识人类在自然环境中各种活动的样态、影响和变化。
环境科学家们他们知道正在发生着什么,然后去寻找这种原因或多种原因。
他们通常也能够去探求这些答案。
2、Solutions to Environmental Problems鉴于环境科学对理解人类对自然环境影响的重要性,社会通常依靠环境政策、环境教育以及环境技术来解决环境问题。
环境政策和教育这两者与改变人们的习惯和行为相关。
环境政策甚至更能直接调整生活习惯。
空气净化法案,例如,制定某些因工业设备允许排放的某些种类气体的排放标准(允许水平)。
至于环境教育,它试图以更细微的方式改变人们的习惯。
比如说,教育大多数的消费者关于汽车引起的空气污染,可能会使一些人改变他们的行为,采用污染更少的交通方式,如步行、自行车或公交交通等。
最后,环境技术通过使用代替的工具、或减少环境影响的程序来用于解决环境问题。
例如,像大家都知道的触媒转化器,安装于排气系统,用于中和汽油燃烧室发动机排出的废气。
为解决特定的环境问题,社会通常借助于环境政策、环境教育以及环境技术三种形式或其组合来实现。
3、The Enviroment as a System为较好地认识自然环境,人们对环境的影响以及人们通过改变行为和使用技术来减少对于环境影响的方式,我们最好从“系统”的角度来思考自然或自然环境。
一个系统可以看做各要素相互作用、相互关联或相互依赖的组群,也可看成是各种要素的一个集合体。
把自然环境作为一个系统来考虑,它是由四部分构成,每部分都有自己的形式、体系安排、特征和动力学。
这五种亚系统包括:大气圈---覆盖在地球周围的气体或气体地球;岩石圈---由岩石和矿物构成的固体地球;水圈------地球的水或地球液体;生物圈---地球的生命,包括植物、动物、昆虫和除人类之外的所有有生命的东西。

Text:Everybody’s Problem—Hazardous Waste每个人的问题——危险废物Every year ,billions of tons of solid wastes are discarded in the United Stastes. 美国每年丢去10亿吨的固体废物。
These wastes range in nature from common household trash to complex materials in industrial wastes ,sewage sludge ,agricultural resideus ,mining refuse and pathological wastes from institutions such as hospital and laboratories.这些废物的变化范围在平常家庭产生的垃圾到工业废物的复合材料、污水、农业废渣、矿渣和像医院、实验室这种大型机构产生的病理废物。
The U.S Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) estimated in 1980 that at least 57 million metric tons of the nation‟s total waste load can be classified as hazardous. 1980年EPA估计一个国家负载的全部废物的至少5700 0000公吨会被列为危险废物。
Unfortunately,many dangerous materials that society has “throw away” over recent decades have endured in theenvironment-making household words of “Love Canal”and”Valley of the Drums.”不幸的是在最近几十年中社会持续扔掉了许多危险物,从而产生了“爱河”和“桶谷”的家用词。

Unit 10 水污染与治理1854年英国伦敦爆发了大规模的流行性霍乱。
此事明确地证实了污水和疾病之间的关系。
当初以公共健康为目的所采取的污染控制,依然是许多地区的主要目的。
然而,水资源的保持,产鱼区的防护,以及娱乐活动用水的维持在今天也成为关注的焦点。
紧随第二次世界大战之后所产生的城市人口密度突增和工业化进程的加剧,都使得水污染问题越见明显。
致使对于水污染的关注程度在70年代中期达到了顶峰。
水污染是一个不准确的术语,它并未指出污染物的种类和来源。
而我们处理废水问题的方式往往取决于以下几个方面:污染物是否需要氧气,是否助长藻类,是否有传染性,是否有毒,或者仅仅是否好看。
水源的污染可能直接来自生活污水的排放或工厂污水排放(点源),也可能间接地由空气污染、农业排水或城市排水(非点源)所引发。
化学上所谓的纯水仅仅是水分子的集合。
无论在野外的河流或湖泊、云层或雨水中,还是在下雪期间,极地的冰帽地区,这种物质在自然界均不能找到。
然而在实验室中可以制备非常纯净的水,但是存在一定的困难。
因为水极易接受和容纳外来物质。
城市污水,也被称作生活污水,是一种复杂的混合物。
它包含水(通常超过99%)以及悬浮或溶解的有机和无机污染物。
这些污染物的浓度通常很低并且以mg/L来表示,也就是说,每升混合物含有多少毫克污染物。
重量与体积比也常用来表示在水、废水、工业废水和其它稀释溶液中的污染物浓度。
微生物任何地方只要存在适合的食物,充足的湿度和适当的温度,微生物即可大量繁殖。
而生活污水为各种各样的微生物提供了一个理想的环境。
这些微生物主要是细菌,某些病毒和原生动物。
废水中的大多数微生物是无害的,并且可借助生化过程,将有机物转化为稳定的最终产物。
但是当一些人患有可通过有毒废水传播的传染性疾病时,其排泄物所携带的致病病原体,极有可能成为污水的组成部分。
虽然在发达国家,类似于水传播的细菌性疾病,例如霍乱、伤寒和肺结核,病毒性疾病例如传染性的肝炎和原生虫引起的痢疾,已经不再是问题,但是在那些经过适当处理过的污水不能被公共利用的地区仍然存在着很大威胁。

环境工程专业英语[5篇范例]第一篇:环境工程专业英语Environment is the physicsl and biotic habitat which surrounds us;that which we can see.hear, touch, smell, and taste.System.according to Wehster’ s dictionaryD , is defined as “a set or arrangement of things so related or connected as to form a unit or organic whole;as, a solar system, irrigation system, supply system, the world or universe”.•环境:是指我们周围的物理和生物生境,我们可以看到,听到,触到,闻到和感到这些事物。
•系统:根据韦氏字典,系统为相关和相联的一组或一系列事情形成一个单元或有机体Pollution can be defined as an undesirable change in the physical, chemical, or biologicalcharacteristics of the air, water, or land that can harmfully affect the health, survival, or activities of humans or other living organisms.•污染:可以定义为空气、水或土壤的物理化学或生物特性发生恶化以至于对人类或生物有机体的健康、生存或活性造成了危害When the goal of improving environmental quality is taken to be improving humanwell-being.Theword“environment” broadens to include all kinds of social, economic, and cultural aspects.Such broadness is unworkable in many real situations and impractical in a textbook designed for a one-semester course.Our examination of environmental problems is therefore limited by our definition of “environment”.当改善环境质量的目的是用来改善人体健康时,环境这个词的含义就拓宽到包括各种社会、经济和文化方面,但这样的拓宽对许多实际情况不可行的,对为一学期时间设计的课程而言是不现实的。

There are two major types of air pollutants .A primary air pollutant is a chemical added directly to the air that occurs in a harmful concentration. It can be a natural air component; such as carbon dioxide;that rises above its normal concentration; or something not usually found in the air; such as a lead compound emitted by cars burning leaded gasoline. A secondary air pollutant is a harmful chemical formed in the atmosphere through a chemical reaction among air components. Serious air pollution usually results over a city or other area that is emitting high levels of pollutants during a period of air stagnation. The geographic location of some heavily populated cities; such as Los Angeles and Mexico City; makes them particularly susceptible to frequent air stagnation and pollution buildup什么是大气污染大气污染一般定义为含有一种或多种浓度足够高得而且对人类、其他动物、植物或者物质产生有害影响的物质;有两种主要类型的大气污染;一次大气污染是一种化学物质直接排放到大气中并达到一定的有害浓度;他可以是空气仲的自然组分;例如二氧化碳;当它的浓度升高到超过它的正常值时;或者一些平常在大气中找不到的组分;例如汽车燃烧含铅汽油而导致大气中散发出一些化合物..二次大气污染物是指在大气中通入现有组分间发生的化学反应而产生的一种有害化学物质..严重的大气污染通常是在静风条件下经过一段时间后结果一个城市或其他地区的大气中有高浓度的污染物..一些人口非常稠密的城市的地理位置;例如洛杉矶和墨西哥的地理位置;使得它们经常特别易受空气流动停滞和污积物的增加的影响..1、The most severe consequence of CO2 induced global warming would be melting of the polar ice capsand he subsequent rise of ocean levels and inundation of coastal plains. 二氧化碳导致全球变暖最严重的后果将会是两极冰块的融化和海平面的上升以及沿海地区洪水的泛滥..2、Although global warming from the already elevate levels of atmospheric CO2 has been predicted bymost climatic models; such a warming has not been empirically observed.虽然全球气候变暖已经是通过大气仲CO2的浓度升高而被许多气候模型而预测得到;如此的一种变暖还没有以经验为主地观察3、Although they indicate trends in average surface temperatures and climate; they unfortunatelycoincide with increased industrialization and pollution虽然他们指出表面温度和气候的平均趋势;但是他们不幸地与工业化增加和污染相一致4、High biomass systems: Many current approaches to high biomass system employ a combination of fixedfilm suspended biomass in the process. High biomass systems have gained a certain popularity in Europe. During the past few years; a number of investigations undertaken in the Federal Republic of Germany have been reported. Among the advantages attributed to such systems have been improvements in nitrification performance; sludge settleability; and effluent quality.高生物质系统:现在很多应用在高生物质系统的方法是生物质固定膜上的组合工艺法..高生物质系统在欧洲得到了广泛的普及;在过去的几年里;由德国联邦政府着手的大量调查研究都被报道;在这样的优势归因于系统已经改善了硝化性能;污泥的沉降性和出水水质5、Reasons for selecting high biomass systems over construction of additional aeration tanks andclarifiersor other secondary treatment process include reduced space requirements; increased process stability; and capital/operating cost savings.选择高生物质系统的原因是在传统的曝气池和澄清池或者其他二次处理工艺的构筑物中都有减少空间的需要;增加工艺的稳定性能和节省操作费用6、High biomass systems call for installation of supplemental equipment over that contained in aconventional activated sludge plant; More installed equipment generally implies more maintenance;and; to some extent; this is true for some of the systems. In addition; the presence of both suspended and fixed biomass forms and higher biomass concentrations may require a certain level of additional operator time to achieve optimum system performance.高生物质系统需要安装辅助设备在那些常规的活性污泥厂里面;很多安装的设备一般需要较多的维修费用;在某些程度上;对于一些系统来说这是真的;除此之外;现场的悬浮和固定的生物质的形式和高生物质浓度都需要一个合适程度的额外操作时间来达到最佳的系统性能..7、The presence of inert support media and higher biomass concentrations in these systems can increaseoverall power consumption. To achieve desired mixing patterns in retrofitted aeration tanks; power input may have to be increased. Also; the presence of additional biomass increases system oxygen requirements which; in turn; requires additional power input. In addition; high biomass systems generally yield higher levels of nitrification; which also can affect overall power consumption.Such factors should be addressed when analyzing operating costs. 这些系统的惰性支持介质和较高的生物量集中的出现能增加全部的耗电量..为了达到在曝气池改进理想混合模型;使输入有力量可能必须被增加..同时另外生物量的出现增加系统氧需求;依次需要额外的电源输入..除此之外;高生物质系统一般达到较高的硝化水平;也能影响全部的耗电量..当分析操作费用的时候;如此的因素应该被提到..英译中1、Typical waste generation facilities; activities; or locations associated with each of these sourcesare presented in Table1. The types of wastes generated; which are discussed next; are also identified.固体废弃物的来源与设备、活动和土地有关的每一个这些来源在Table1中呈现;废弃物类型的产生;然后被讨论;也被识别2、Hazardous Wastes Chemical; biological; flammable; explosive; or radioactive wastes that pose asubstantial danger; immediately or over time; to human; plant; or animal life are classified as hazardous. Typically; these wastes occur as liquids; but they are often found in the form of gases;solids; or sledges. In all cases; these wastes must be handled and disposed of with great care and caution.危险废物:化学的、生物的、易燃的、易爆的或者放射性的废弃物在迅速或者一段时间对人类、植物和动物生态被归类未危险物;典型地;这些废物是以液态形式出现;但是它们通常也被发现一气体、固体或污泥的形式存在..总的来说;对于这些废弃物的处理和处置需要持以认真和谨慎的态度..中译英:1、饮食废物的重要特点在于它具有易腐烂性;尤其在温暖天气里;会极快地腐烂..The important characteristics of fooddiscard lieses in its hasing easily putrefied; will be very quickly putrefied particularly in warm weather..2、除了在家庭产生饮食废物外;在自助食堂、饭馆、医院和监狱等机构;以及诸如批发、零售等食品市场;均会产生大量的饮食废物..In addition to producing a food discard at family; in the self-help dining room; restaurant;hospital and etc. organization in jail; and food market such as wholesale; retail price; all will produce a great deal of food discard.。
Unit one Environmental Engineering环境工程What is this book about?这本书是关于什么的?The objective of this book is to introduce engineering and science students to the interdisciplinary study of environment problems;their cause,why they are of concern,and how we can control them. The book includes: 这本书的目的是使理工科的学生了解跨学科间的研究环境问题;它们的起因,为什么它们受到关注,以及我们怎样控制它们。
这本书包括:●Description of what is meant by environment and environmental systems描述环境和环境系统意味着什么●Information on the basic causes of environmental disturbances关于引起环境干扰基础原因的基本信息●Basic scientific knowledge necessary to understand the nature of environmental problems and to be able toquantify them理解环境问题本质,并能够定量计算它们所必要的基本科学知识●Current state of the technology of environmental control in its application to water,air and pollutionproblems目前适用于水,空气和环境污染问题的环境控制技术的现状●Considerable gaps in our current scientific knowledge of understanding and controlling many of thecomplex interactions between human activities and nature我们目前的科学知识在理解和控制人类活动和自然之间复杂的相互作用的科学知识上存在相当大的缺陷●Many environmental problems which could be eliminated or reduced by the application of currenttechnology,but which are not dealt with because of society’s lack of will to do so,or in many instance because of a lack of resources to do so.许多环境问题可以应用现有技术消除或减少,但没有得到处理是因为社会缺乏这样做的意愿,或者像许多例子那样因为缺乏资源。
Some important definitions 一些重要的定义Where they are first used in this book,definitions are introduced in block form,as shown here,or printed in bold type.如果他们是第一次使用这本书,定义介绍采用块形式,像这里显示的一样,或印成黑体字。
Environment is the physical and biotic habitat which surrounds us;that which we can see,hear,touch,smell,and taste.环境是围绕在我们周围物质生命的栖息地,在那里我们可以看到,听到,触到,闻到和品尝到。
System,according to webster’s dictionary,is defined as “a set or arrangement of things so related or connected as to form a unit or organic whole;as,a solar system,irrigation system,supply system,the world or universe”.系统,依据韦伯斯特的字典,被定义为“一组或一系列能形成一个整体或者有机整体的相互关联的事物;比如,太阳系统,灌溉系统,供水系统,世界或宇宙”。
Pollution can be defined as an undesirable change in the physical,chemical,or biological characteristics of the air,water,or land that can harmfully affect the health,survival,or activities of humans or other living organisms.污染可以被定义为有害影响健康,生存,活动的人或其它生物体的空气,水,或土地的物理,化学或生物特性的不应该有的变化,。
When the goal of improving environmental quanlity is taken to be improving human wellbeing,the word “environment”broadens to include all kinds of social,economic,and cultural aspects. Such broadness isunworkable in many real situations and impractical in a text book designed for a one semester course. Our examination of environmental problems is therefore limited by our definition of “environment”.当改善环境质量的目标是用来改善人类的福祉,“环境”这个词扩大到包括社会,经济,文化等所有方面的内容。
这种扩大化在许多实际情况下是不可行的,在本被设计为一学期课程的教科书中也是不切实际的。
因此,我们对环境问题的考察限于我们定义的“环境”。
Interaction of Systems互动系统A number of different environmental problems are associated with water, air, or land systems. 许多不同的环境问题都涉及到水,空气,或土壤。
Many of these problems will apply only within one of these systems, justifying the breakdown into these categories.许多这些问题只适用于在其中一个系统,这为这些种类中的细目分类提供了充分的理由。
Such a classification is also useful for easier comprehension of related problems within one system.这种分类也有助于更容易理解一个系统里的相关问题。
Moreover, it is sensible because, for manager and administrative reasons, such subfields as air pollution, water supply, wastewater disposal, and solid waste disposal are often dealt with separately by governmental agencies. 此外,这样做是明智的,因为是行政管理的原因,空气污染,水供应,固体废物处置和废水处理,往往是由政府机构分别处理的。
Unfortunately, many important environmental problems are not confined to an air, water, or land system, but involve interactions between systems.很遗憾的是,许多重要的环境问题不只局限于一个空气,水,或土壤系统,更涉及系统之间的相互作用。
A current example is the acid rain problem stemming from the emission of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide gases into the atmosphere from the stacks of generating stations, smelters, and automobile exhausts。
目前的一个例子是酸雨问题,根源是许多发电站,冶炼,汽车排出的废气中进入大气的二氧化硫和氮氧化物气体。
These gases are then transported by air currents over wide regions.这些气体被气流运送到广阔的区域。
Rainfall “washes them out”, creating acid rain which is harmful to aquatic life, forests, and agricultural crops.雨水“将它们洗去”,产生了对水生生物,森林和农作物有害的酸雨。
Two examples of interaction between systems that cause major environmental disturbances are presented-the buildup of atmospheric carbon dioxide, a global problem, and the acid rain problem, normally of regional nature.两个有关于系统间相互作用引起的环境问题有:空气中的二氧化碳的增加的全球性问题以及具有地域性质的酸雨问题。
Environmental Disturbances环境扰乱Many major improvements to our standard of living can be attributed to the application of science and technology.我们的生活水平的许多重大改进,可以归因于科学和技术的应用。
