environmental engineering projects
Environmental engineering is the contemporary term for
sanitary engineering, though sanitary engineering traditionally had not
included much of the hazardous waste management and environmental remediation
work covered by environmental engineering. Public health engineering and environmental
health engineering are other terms being used.
Environmental engineering deals with treatment of chemical,
biological, or thermal wastes, purification of water and air, and remediation
of contaminated sites after waste disposal or accidental contamination. Among
the topics covered by environmental engineering are pollutant transport, water
purification, waste water treatment, air pollution, solid waste treatment, and
hazardous waste management. Environmental engineers administer pollution reduction,
green engineering, and industrial ecology. Environmental engineers also compile
information on environmental consequences of proposed actions.
