👉 Pollution engineering, also known as environmental engineering, focuses on the design, construction, and operation of systems and technologies to control and reduce pollution from various sources, including industrial processes, transportation, and waste management. This field aims to minimize the release of harmful pollutants into the air, water, and soil by employing strategies such as emission control devices (e.g., scrubbers and filters), wastewater treatment processes, and waste-to-energy conversion. Pollution engineers also develop and implement policies and regulations to ensure compliance with environmental standards, monitor pollution levels, and assess the effectiveness of mitigation measures. By integrating scientific principles and innovative technologies, pollution engineering plays a crucial role in protecting public health and preserving ecosystems.
