Environmental statistics

Environmental statistics is the study of numbers and facts about the environment, like the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. This information can tell us a lot about how healthy and clean the environment is, and how it might be affecting living things. To help make sure it's safe and healthy, scientists use environmental statistics to check things like air and water pollution. The numbers they find can help people make important decisions about how to keep the environment healthy for everyone!
