WHAT IS ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE?

Environmental science is a science that contains a wide range of scientific disciplines.


These disciplines are grouped together based on the natural environment which they
encompass and interact with. These sciences include physical, chemical, and biological
components. Environmental science provides an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the
environmental systems. The most common way environmental science is studied is through the
work of one individual or small team drawing on the published work of many other scientists
throughout the world.

Environmental science is based on the impact of human actions upon terrestrial and
aquatic ecosystems, and develops ideas and plans for restoring these ecosystems.
Environmental scientists also help planners develop and construct buildings and other modules
to help benefit water resources and efficient land usage. Environmental research is commonly
conducted among many different interdisciplinary sciences to produce one goal. Since most
environmental issues deal with human activities, study of economics, law and social sciences
are often used in conjunction with environmental science.

Environmental science deals with a wide range of issues including: climate change,
conservation, biodiversity, water quality, soil and groundwater contamination, natural
resources, waste management, development, disaster reduction, and various pollution. While
the environment has been studied since as long as science has been around, only recently
(1960s and 1970s) has it become an active mainstream scientific investigation. Growing public
awareness of environmental issues and a need for action is one factor in the growth of
environmental science to what it is today.

Environmental sciences pertaining to the atmosphere examine the phenomena of the


Earth’s gaseous outer layer and the relation it has to other systems. Atmospheric sciences is
comprised of meteorological studies, greenhouse gas phenomena, atmospheric dispersion
modeling of airborne contaminants, sound propagation phenomena related to noise pollution,
and even light pollution.

WHAT IS ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING?

Environmental Engineering is a profession that applies mathematics and science to


utilize the properties of matter and source of energy in the solution of the problems of
environment.

Professional Code of Ethics, Civil Engineering, from which environmental engineering is


primarily, but not exclusively, derived has an established code of ethics that embodies those
principles.
