Preventing Flint - Environmental Engineering: Crash Course Engineering #29

Environmental engineering is crucial for managing our impact on the environment and vice versa. It involves protecting people from environmental hazards, safeguarding the environment from human activities, and enhancing overall quality of life. Key areas include water and air quality, with case studies like Flint, Michigan highlighting the importance of proper water treatment. Aquatic environments require careful monitoring of dissolved oxygen and pH levels. Air pollution is addressed through filtration and absorption techniques. Noise pollution and waste management are also significant concerns, with strategies like recycling and soundproofing being essential. The video emphasizes the interconnectedness of these issues and the need for proactive solutions.
