(Answers may vary.)
The town I live in has a river flowing near one of the schools. A few months back, residents noticed that pollutants were contaminating the river water. The residents identified the pollutants as the waste released from a newly constructed factory. The contamination is of prime concern to our town, because the river water is used as the public water supply to the nearby school. Therefore, the polluted water needs to be treated on priority to reduce health risks to the schoolchildren. In addition, the newly constructed factory needs to stop releasing waste into the river water. The following scientists can help address this environmental issue:
A geologist can investigate how the pollutants are transported to the river.
An ecologist can help determine how species are affected by pollution.
A chemist can investigate the biodegradation of the pollutants.
A soil scientist can investigate soil contamination or soil erosion occurring due to the pollution.
An environmental engineer can help design a water treatment system to remove the pollutants.
An economist can investigate and report the impact of the environmental issue on the local economy.
