Preventing Flint – Environmental Engineering: Crash Course Engineering #29
A lot of work goes into managing our impact on the environment and its impact on us. That work is the work of environmental engineers. In this episode, we’ll explore water quality, air quality, noise pollution, waste management, and more.
Crash Course Engineering is produced in association with PBS Digital Studios.
