Environmental Engineer

Environmental engineers use the principles of chemistry and biology to improve the environment. They utilize technology to improve air and water quality, increase the efficiency of recycling technology, and develop processes to safely dispose of water. Environmental engineers conduct research to evaluate potential hazards, discover solutions to contain hazards, and then develop strategies to prevent hazards from causing environmental damage. Environmental engineers also design municipal industrial wastewater treatment and water supply facilities. They also determine the environmental impact of potential construction projects and perform quality control. Environmental engineers develop technology to address any problem, so they focus on strategies to minimize the negative effects of car emissions, ozone depletion, and global warming. They can also devote themselves to wildlife preservation and provide consulting to manufactures concerned about environmental protections.
