High-Speed Railways: Environmental Impact and Pollution Prevention and Control considers environmental pollution and pollution control technology in the construction and operation of high-speed rail infrastructure. In six chapters, this new volume introduces high speed rail and environmental impact, considers environmental pollution and prevention in high speed railways, and covers the prediction, measurement and prevention of key environmental aspects of the railway. The title gives engineers the means to understand and mitigate the major environmental impacts of building and operating high-speed railways in the modern world.

High-speed railways offer a low-carbon and environmentally-friendly future for public railways. However, building and operating high speed railways at scale causes stress both to the environment and to people living nearby. Impacts include noise, vibration, air and water pollution, electromagnetic radiation, and solid waste from construction sites and the normal operation of the railway. In turn, analyzing the impact of high speed rail has grown in urgency.

He Yulong is a Professor in the Faculty of Geosciences and Environmental Engineering, at Southwest Jiaotong University, China. His research focuses on rail transit environmental protection. He has published three monographs and more than 50 papers. Tao Wei is Associated Professor in the School of Chemistry and Environmental Engineering at the Sichuan University of Science and Engineering, China. Her research focuses on railway noise, wastewater treatment and soil remediation. Changgen Mei, received an PhD degree from Southwest Jiaotong University and University of Delaware Joint Doctoral Program, associate director of Department of Environmental Engineering ,School of Chemistry and Environmental Engineering , Sichuan University of Science & Engineering, mainly engaged in teaching and research in traffic noise and vibration.
