• to analyse and interpret scientific data concerning environmental issues
• Rapid growth in the human population and an increase in the standard of living means that: - raw materials are rapidly being used up - more waste is produced - more pollution will be caused.
• More waste is being produced which, unless properly handled, may pollute water, air and land.
• Living organisms can be used as indicators of pollution: - lichens can be used as air pollution indicators - invertebrate animals can be used as water pollution indicators.
