Technology and Environment
- Share to:
It is more evident than ever before that global, regional, and local environmental deterioration is affecting the habitability of the planet and, as a result, societal well-being, the working of the national and global economy, and political interactions among nations. It is also evident that although the management and use of technology have contributed to the present environmental situation, the applications of engineering and technology can provide solutions to many environmental problems. Over the past two decades, concerns have intensified about the decrease of stratospheric ozone, projected climate warming, effects of acid rain, pollution of coastal regions, accumulation of trace pollutants in the biosphere, and increasing difficulties in disposal of nuclear and hazardous wastes. We are now at the point where balancing economic growth and environmental practices makes it ever more urgent to design and apply environmentally innovative engineering.
