1) Understand the colmplex problem of environmental pollution,
2) Understand what the science of pollution is all about,
3) Understand the pollution and grobal environmental degradation by human activity,
4) Understand the air pollution, and the cleanup and preservation technology for preventing environmental pollution and restoring environments,
5) Understand the water pollution, and the cleanup and preservation technology for preventing environmental pollution and restoring environments,
6) Understand the soil contamination, and the cleanup and preservation technology for preventing environmental pollution and restoring environments,.
