| The growing awareness of the impact of human activities on the environment and the resulting threat to both nature and man have convinced most governments of the need to include prevention of air, water and soil pollution as well as the sanitation of polluted sites in their priority action programmes. Since relatively few people have so far been trained to address pollution issues properly, it is imperative that, in addition to research on environmental matters, the education and training of specialists in pollution prevention and remediation must be given urgent attention in every country. |
