Environmental Engineers develop solutions to environmental problems using the principles of biology, chemistry and mechanical engineering. They are involved in Water and Air Pollution Control, recycling, waste disposal, and Public Health issues. Environmental Engineers conduct hazardous-waste management studies in which they evaluate the significance of the hazard, advise on treatment and develop regulations to prevent mishaps. They have played a major role in the EPA’s attempt to clean up hazardous waste sites over the last twenty five years.
They Design Municipal Water Supply and industrial Wastewater Treatment Systems. They conduct research on the environmental impact of proposed construction projects, analyze scientific data, and perform quality-control checks. Many Environmental Engineers work as Consultants, helping their clients to comply with regulations and to clean up hazardous sites.
