Environmental engineering

Environmental engineering is a type of engineering that helps protect the environment and the health of people who live in it. It combines physical engineering, chemistry, biology, and other sciences to figure out solutions to environmental problems. For example, environmental engineers might work on ways to reduce air pollution or develop solutions to help clean up polluted water. They also look at how people can have less impact on the environment so that it can stay cleaner and healthier in the future.
