Overview

Environmental problems are the adverse changes to the natural environment arising from human activity and natural processes, including pollution of air, water, and soil, habitat degradation, resource depletion, and climate change, with consequences for ecosystems, human health, and economic and social systems. They are typically interconnected, so that disturbances in one domain propagate to others, and their management requires integrated scientific, technological, and policy responses. Research relevant to this area examines specific environmental pressures and mitigation strategies: the factors adversely affecting fish populations in rivers, approaches to fisheries management, and the environmental and health risks posed by pollutants such as hydrogen sulphide around waste dumpsites and leachate from solid-waste disposal. Allied work addresses the use of freshwater bivalves as bioindicators of pollution, the treatment of industrial wastewater, biotechnological applications of cyanobacteria in environmental remediation, and environmentally responsible behaviors. Studies of contamination, waste, and water quality recur throughout. Across these strands, scholarship on environmental problems seeks to identify and quantify the impacts of human activity on the environment, to develop monitoring tools and remediation and treatment technologies, and to inform management and behavioral strategies that reduce pollution, conserve resources, and protect both ecological integrity and human health.
