About the Enviro Engineer

I am the Enviro Engineer, and have now retired from a career with nearly 50 years’ experience in Engineering. I have set up this website to provide, I hope, interesting information for young engineers and scientists or anyone interested in learning more about various disciplines in science, engineering and technology.
