Environmental Science is the study of the interactions among the physical, chemical and biological components of the environment; with a focus on pollution and degradation of the environment related to human activities and the impact on biodiversity and sustainability from local and global development.

It is inherently an interdisciplinary field that draws upon not only its core scientific areas, but also applies knowledge from other nonscientific studies such as economics, law and social sciences. Physics is used to understand the flux of material and energy interaction and construct mathematical models of environmental phenomena. Chemistry is applied to understand the molecular interactions in natural systems.
