Environmental engineering is an interdisciplinary science that combines biology, ecology, geology, geography, mathematics, chemistry, physics, agronomy, medicine, economics and all technical sciences. The main objective of environmental engineering is to use the understanding of the environment and technological progress to serve humanity by reducing the production of environmental hazards and the impact of these hazards already present in soil, water and air. The main activities of an environmental engineer include water supply, wastewater and waste management, air pollution control and noise pollution control, environmental sustainability, environmental impact assessment, climate change, etc. Therefore, the textbook "Environmental Engineering: Basic Principles" is divided into eight areas that are important for all current and future environmental engineers. This textbook provides a comprehensive overview of necessary information for a reorientation of society in relation to nature and the return of nature to the center.
