Let's learn about Environmental Engineers!
Environmental engineers focus on factors in the air, water or soil that
can have an impact on the health of humans, animals, or vegetation. These
factors are contaminants that are introduced through man-made activities
such as air emissions and leaking underground fuel tanks.
Many problems that the environmental engineers deal with are problems due
to historical processes used prior to the current environmental laws. One
recent interest with the engineers is indoor air quality. This is the
assessment of the air that we breathe indoors.
I became an engineer because.... I like math and solving problems. When I was in middle school I was very
active in Girl Scouts, band, and horseback riding. I also played basketball
and enjoyed reading. Today I own a horse and I am in a book discussion
group.
