Environmental science is an interdisciplinary field of study that integrates physics, biology, geography, ecology, geology, mineralogy and chemistry to examine environmental problems along with their impact on humans, and providing solutions to these environmental problems. Environmental studies is another field which is closely associated with environmental science, and it incorporates social sciences to understand the human relationships, perceptions, and policies towards the environment. Environmental science seeks to comprehend the physical, chemical, biological, and geological processes of the Earth. This knowledge is used to understand the different phenomena and solutions such as alternative energy systems, pollution control and mitigation, natural resource management, and the effects of global warming and climate change on the natural systems and processes of the Earth. The objective of this book is to provide an overview of the principles of environmental science. It will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this field.

Environmental science consists of the application of scientific and engineering principles to improve and maintain the environment to protect human health, to protect nature's beneficial ecosystems, and to improve environment-related quality of human life. Environmental engineering is an engineering discipline concerned with the application of scientific and engineering principles to improve and maintain the quality of environment. While environmental science focuses on collecting and analyzing data as well as making hypothesis on the basis of this data, environmental engineering involves the application of this data for the production of outcomes which lead to reducing the impacts of development and population growth. The book studies, analyses and explains the most important concepts in environmental engineering and science. The topics included herein are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. The book is a resource guide for experts as well as students.
