Environmental audit

Environmental audits are like inspections of places where people live and work. They look at things like air, water, and soil around us to make sure that it is safe and healthy. Companies, governments, and other organizations use environmental audits to check if they are following the rules to keep the environment safe. The audits might look at things like how much water is being used, how much pollution is being put into the air, what kind of chemicals are put in the water, and more. Auditors make sure that people and companies are following the rules to keep the environment safe.
