Contamination can be chemical, biological, thermal, radioactive or mechanical. Environmental engineering emphasizes several areas: process engineering, environmental chemistry, water and sewage treatment (sanitary engineering), waste reduction/management and pollution prevention/remediation. Environmental engineering is a synthesis of various disciplines, including the following elements:
- Biology
- Chemical engineering
- Chemistry
- Civil engineering
- Ecology
- Geology
- Mechanical engineering
- Public health
