Environmental engineering combines science and engineering principles to address ways in which to improve the quality of air, land, and water for living organisms. Chemical, biological, and geological sciences are incorporated into the techniques of mechanical, civil, and chemical engineering to address issues of public health and policy. Remediation of polluted sites, sanitary engineering, waste reduction and prevention are keys areas of concern.
