Pengetahuan lingkungan menurut beberapa ahli dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengetahuan akan keadaan dan situasi dimana kita hidup, misalnya adalah pengetahuan lingkungan industri, pengetahuan akan keadaan industri, pengetahuan lingkungan industri juga dapat diterjemahkan dalam arti luar negeri.
INTRODUCTION TO ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING
Environmental
engineering is the application of science and engineering principles tomanage
and improve the environment. As such, topics discussed in relation to
theenvironment normally include water, air and land resources. Sustainable
development aimsat providing healthy water, air and land for human habitation,
for other organisms tosurvive, and to remediate polluted sites as well.Human
interaction with the environment could give rise to an impact on the environmentand
sometimes is being adversely impacted by pollutants in the environment. A
largeamount of data will have to be interpreted in the light of the need for
sustainabledevelopment. As such, environmental engineers will have to be
conscious of and find viableways to cope with such a situation.Environmental
crisis is a crisis of the senses, imagination, and use of pertinent tools,
thatguide us in our ways of thinking, developing concepts, and postulating
theories. In thecontext of sustainable development, aspect and impact factors
affecting the environmentare of prime importance in discussing the future of
sustainable development. As such, anydecision making process on environmental
management must be based on both thesefactors.
THE ENVIRONMENT
Simply
stated, the environment is one’s surroundings. To the environmental engineer,
theword environment may take on a wide definition and requires a global
perception. It shouldnot be a narrow definition dealing only with liquid,
gaseous or solid materials within atreatment plant reactor, but it should go
beyond that.Global environment comprises the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and
lithosphere in which lifesustaining resources of the earth are contained. The
atmosphere , a mixture of gasesextending outward from the surface of the earth,
evolved from the elements of the earththat were gasified during its formation
and metamorphosis. The hydrosphere consists of oceans, lakes, streams, and
shallow groundwater bodies that interflow with surface water.The lithosphere is
the soil mantle that wraps the core of the earth.
The
biosphere, a thin shell that encapsulates the earth, is made of the atmosphere
andlithosphere adjacent to the surface of the earth, together with the
hydrosphere. It is withinthe biosphere that the life forms of earth, including
humans, live. Life sustaining materials in gaseous, liquid, and solid forms are
cycled through the biosphere, providing sustenanceto all living organisms.
PENGANTAR TEKNIK LINGKUNGAN
Teknik lingkungan adalah penerapan prinsip-prinsip ilmu pengetahuan dan teknik untuk mengelola dan memperbaiki lingkungan. Dengan demikian, topik yang dibahas dalam kaitannya dengan lingkungan biasanya meliputi sumber daya air, udara dan tanah. Pembangunan berkelanjutan bertujuan menyediakan air yang sehat, udara dan tanah untuk tempat tinggal manusia, untuk organisme lain untuk bertahan hidup, dan untuk memulihkan situs tercemar interaksi. Manusia dengan lingkungan bisa menimbulkan dampak pada lingkungan dan kadang-kadang sedang terpengaruh oleh polutan di lingkungan. Sejumlah besar data harus ditafsirkan dalam terang kebutuhan untuk pembangunan berkelanjutan. Dengan demikian, insinyur lingkungan akan harus sadar dan menemukan cara yang layak untuk mengatasi seperti krisis situasi. Lingkungan adalah krisis indra, imajinasi, dan penggunaan alat-alat yang bersangkutan, yang membimbing kita dalam cara kita berpikir, mengembangkan konsep, dan mendalilkan teori. Dalam konteks pembangunan berkelanjutan, aspek dan dampak faktor yang mempengaruhi lingkungan adalah yang terpenting dalam membahas masa depan pembangunan berkelanjutan. Dengan demikian, setiap proses pengambilan keputusan tentang pengelolaan lingkungan hidup harus didasarkan pada kedua faktor ini.
LINGKUNGAN
Secara sederhana, lingkungan adalah lingkungan seseorang. Untuk insinyur lingkungan, lingkungan kata dapat mengambil definisi yang luas dan membutuhkan persepsi global. Ini tidak harus menjadi definisi yang sempit hanya berurusan dengan bahan cair, gas atau padat dalam reaktor pabrik pengolahan, tetapi harus melampaui lingkungan that.Global terdiri dari atmosfer, hidrosfer, litosfer dan di mana kehidupan mempertahankan sumber daya bumi yang terkandung . Atmosfer, campuran gas memperluas keluar dari permukaan bumi, berevolusi dari unsur bumi yang gasifikasi selama pembentukannya dan metamorfosis. hidrosfer terdiri dari lautan, danau, sungai, dan badan air tanah dangkal yang bersatu dengan air.Permukaan litosfer adalah mantel tanah yang membungkus inti bumi.
Biosfer, kulit tipis yang merangkum bumi , terbuat dari atmosfer dan litosfer berdekatan dengan permukaan bumi, bersama-sama dengan hidrosfer. Ini adalah dalam biosfer bahwa bentuk kehidupan di bumi, termasuk manusia, hidup. Bahan hidup mempertahankan di gas, cair , dan bentuk padat bersepeda melalui biosfer, memberikan rezeki untuk semua organisme hidup.
There is no
question that increased
knowledge must play
an essential role
in solving humanity’s environmental problems. Knowledge can help limit and reduce
population size (Ehrlich and Holdren, 1971; Ehrlich and Ehrlich, 1990), change patterns
of overconsumption (Ehrlich et al.,1997), and develop more environmentally
benign technologies (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987;
Holdren, 1990; Kane, 1996). These connections between knowledge and the environment
are relatively uncontroversial. Some recent
analyses suggest, however,
that knowledge-growth may alleviate
environmental problems in a
way that is
largely unprecedented. Although history
provides numerous examples where industrialization has
produced unfortunate environmental consequences, some
argue that knowledge-growth will assure high
levels of envi-ronmental quality in the future.
According to this view, the continued discovery of cleaner, low-pol-lution production
methods will preserve
environ-mental quality, despite
increases in the
scale of global output
and consumption. A related, but
distinct view is that we no longer need to worry about the possibility that the
finite-ness of natural
resources will pose
a drag on future economic growth. In this
connection, there have been repeated
discussions of an
economic transition to a
services-, or knowledge-,
economy (Porat, 1977; Drucker,
1993; Chichilnisky, 1996; Chichilnisky, 1998). Chichilnisky
(1998) proposed that a knowledge revolution is underway that will allow more
economic output with
less physical input. It
is ‘‘a social
and economic revolution which matches the impact of the
agricultural and industrial revolutions,’’ one
in which land
andmachines as factors
in production are
being re-placed by
knowledge. An extreme
version of this claim
is that future
growth in technology
will virtually eliminate the
possibility of a resource drag on the economy. The thrust of
this argument can be seen in the following (Sagoff, 1997): ‘‘It is simply wrong
to believe that
nature sets physical limits to economic growth — that is,
to prosperity and the production
and consumption of
goods and services on
which it is
based.
(p.83) ...
Although raw materials will always be nec-essary, knowledge has become the
essential factor in the production
of goods and
services (p. 90).’’ Here
we examine the
question whether knowl-edge-growth will, in some sense, save
the environ-ment. We first
discuss whether a
knowledge explosion is in
fact occurring, pointing
out along the way some basic
challenges involved in assess-ing an increase in knowledge. Second, we address the
question: if knowledge is growing, will it help the environment? Here we
consider both the issue of whether knowledge can avoid a resource drag, and the
question whether knowledge
can over-come the
threats to the
environment implied by increasing
global output and
consumption. Fi-nally, we
outline policy interventions
that would help society
overcome barriers to
producing and acting upon
environmentally helpful knowledge. As our discussion will make clear,
the productive use of knowledge — to serve
environmental or other purposes — requires more
than just knowl-edge-acquisition or
discovery. The acquired knowledge must be put to good use.
Appropriate institutions, such as new financial institutions
to securitize the biosphere, have a vital role in meet-ing this
challenge. Likewise, public
policies, such as subsidies
to research and
development, are crucial for
providing adequate incentives
for the creation of
knowledge and for
countering forces of disinformation.
