Environmental controls refer to the regulations, practices, and technologies that are put in place to protect and preserve the natural environment. This research area focuses on understanding the impact of human activities on the environment and developing strategies to mitigate negative effects. Environmental controls may include laws and policies governing pollution, conservation efforts, sustainable resource management, and environmental monitoring. Researchers in this field often study the interactions between human activities and the environment, as well as the effectiveness of different control methods in reducing harmful environmental impacts. Ultimately, the goal of environmental controls research is to promote environmental sustainability and ensure the health and well-being of ecosystems and human populations.
