Environmental science is the domain of science that deals with the interactions between the chemical, physical and biological components that constitute the environment. It also studies the effects and relationships of these various components with the living organisms that inhabit the environment. Broadly, environmental science can be segmented into three primary goals – to understand how human beings interact with the environment, learn how the world of nature works, and determine how human beings affect the environment. Environmental science is typically an interdisciplinary domain since it incorporates ideas and data from several other disciplines, from biology, geology and chemistry to social science and economics, political science, and more.
