Environmental engineering

Environmental engineering is the branch of engineering which concerned with protecting people from the effects of adverse environmental effects, such as pollution and improving environmental quality.

Environmental engineers generate engineering solutions to problems related to the environment as the pollution of water, air, and soil, like waste management and valorization.

Environmental engineers identify environmental problems and develop designs for systems that serve societal needs while preserving the environment.

Environmental engineers use the principles of engineering, soil science, biology, and chemistry to develop solutions to environmental problems. They work to improve recycling, waste disposal, public health, and water and air pollution control.

Environmental engineers research environmental issues in the area and create plans to decrease the effects of that problem on the environment. Daily, they collect samples for inspection, develop strategies for new structures or improving established systems, and monitor regulation practices at job sites.
