Environmental Engineering helps make the air, waters, and land better and safer for humans. Work includes designing, building, and operating systems to manage wastewater, cut air pollution, improve solid-waste disposal, and make recycling more cost-effective. Engineers also find ways to reduce emissions from vehicles and power plants, and clean up toxic-waste sites. Efforts are guided by environmental law, regulators, and public health concerns, spelled out in environmental-impact statements.
