This course examines how to protect and manage the environment to reduce risks and support sustainable ecosystems. It explores links between environmental quality and human well-being, focusing on pollution prevention, waste management, and resource conservation. Course content: (1) Introduction to environmental protection and management; relationship between environmental quality and ecosystem stability; overview of soil, air, and water quality management. (2) Soil pollution: sources, impacts, and conservation, reclamation, and policy approaches. (3) Water pollution: sources, environmental and health impacts, and management technologies. (4) Air pollution: sources, impacts, and air-quality control measures. (5) Sustainable solutions and environmental innovations, including emerging technologies and strategies. (6) Capstone activities: case studies, group projects, and student presentations on innovative environmental management solutions.
