"The basic and fundamental nature of environmental education is multidisciplinary and includes all factors related to environmental problems, the study of man-made and natural environment, and is concerned with total human activity and his environment. Thus environmental education refers not only to scientific problems such as contamination of water, air and soil, the detection, surveillance and monitoring of pollutants and their impact on human health and on all other species, but also to the socio-economic and legal aspects."
