Pollution Prevention

Pollution prevention is a set of practices aimed at reducing or eliminating waste at the source by modifying production processes, promoting the use of non-toxic or less-toxic substances, implementing conservation techniques, and reusing materials rather than putting them into the waste stream. Coursera's pollution prevention catalogue teaches you about different tactics and strategies to help mitigate the impact of pollution on our environment. You'll learn about sustainable practices in industry and society, the role of renewable energy in pollution prevention, waste management techniques, and the design and implementation of pollution prevention programs. You'll also gain an understanding of legislation related to pollution and the importance of community involvement in pollution prevention efforts. This knowledge will be invaluable for environmental scientists, policy makers, public health professionals, and anyone interested in making a positive impact on our planet.
