Biography
Samuel D. Faust Dr. Faust was Professor of Environmental Sciences at Rutgers University. He received his Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences and Chemistry from Rutgers University and was a Research Fellow in Applied Chemistry at Harvard University during the term 1966-67. Dr. Faust has written three previous books in the water and wastewater treatment areas and edited several books on the chemistry of aquatic environments. He has published over 100 papers in research journals, served on the Governor’s Panel on Acid Deposition in New Jersey in 1984, and was the recipient of Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996 from the Department of Environmental Sciences of Rutgers University.
Osman M. Aly Dr. Aly is currently the Director of Environmental Affairs for Campbell Soup Company responsible for directing worldwide environmental policies and programs and acting as Spokesman for Campbell on environmental matters. Dr. Aly has extensive experience in the water treatment field and is responsible for the construction of treatment systems in Europe (France, U.K., Germany, Belgium, Italy), Latin America, Mexico, Australia, and the Far East. Dr. Aly earned his Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences from Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey. Dr. Aly is the author of over 50 publications in the environmental field covering the areas of water and wastewater treatment, and fate of organics in the aquatic environment. He is also co-author of other textbooks on water quality and treatment and applications of adsorption technology in water purification.
