15、nteraction of systemsPart Introduction to Environmental EngineeringMany of environmental problems will apply only within one of water, air, or land systems , justifying (證明，為作出解釋) the breakdown (分解) into these categories. Such a classification is also useful for easier comprehension (理解) of related

16、problems within one system.Moreover, it is sensible because, for manager and administrative reasons, such subfields (子域) as air pollution, water supply, wastewater disposal, and solid waste disposal are often dealt with separately by governmental agencies. 133. Interaction of systemsPart Introductio

17、n to Environmental EngineeringUnfortunately, many important environmental problems are not confined (局限于) to an air, water, or land system, but involve interactions between systems. A current example is the acid rain problem stemming from (根源) the emission (排放) of sulfur dioxide (二氧化硫) and nitrogen

18、oxide gases into the atmosphere from the stacks (煙囪) of generating stations (發(fā)電廠), smelters (熔爐), and automobile exhausts (汽車尾氣) 。 These gases are then transported by air currents (氣流) over wide regions. Rainfall “washes them out”, creating acid rain which is harmful to aquatic life (水生生物), forests,

19、 and agricultural crops. 144. Environmental ProblemsPart Introduction to Environmental EngineeringMany major improvements to our standard of living can be attributed to the application of science and technology. With these improvements, however, have come disturbing side effects, such as lost arable

20、 land (耕地), disappearing forests, environmental pollution, and new organisms resistant to controls (微生物滋長 ). Environmental problems are always interrelated. Sometimes a solution to one problem actually creates another problem.154. Environmental ProblemsPart Introduction to Environmental EngineeringF

21、or example, when people are sick and dying from disease, it is natural to want to improve human health.When health is improved and infant mortality (嬰兒死亡率) is reduced, a population explosion may result. To feed this growing pollution, natural habitats (自然棲息地) are often destroyed by turning them into

22、 farmland. As natural habitats are destroyed, the wild plants, predatory animals (食肉動物), and parasites (寄生生物) that once lived there are killed as well. 164. Environmental ProblemsPart Introduction to Environmental EngineeringBecause of the lack of predators and parasites, outbreaks of insect pests (

23、害蟲) become more common. Farmers use pesticides (農(nóng)藥) to control the pests and protect the crops, but in the process the environment becomes polluted. The development of this entire (整個的) cycle in itself consumes fossil fuel (化石燃料) supplies that are becoming scarce. In addition, when fuels are burned,

24、 air pollutants are generated. 174. Environmental ProblemsPart Introduction to Environmental EngineeringHow does a person begin to study such a network of interlocking (相關(guān)聯(lián)的) problems?

It is important first because overpopulation is a major cause of all environmental problems: Fewer people would use

27、 less oil, chop down fewer trees, and pour less sewage into rivers. 19Part Introduction to Environmental EngineeringOverpopulationSecond, overpopulation and the starvation（饑餓） that accompanies it are generally higher on our list of priorities than other environmental concerns.
