Environment: The environment in which living and non-living things coexist, interact and are affected by each other is called the environment. Ecology: The branch of science that studies the interaction of all living and non-living things is called ecology. Studies show that 50% of the current environmental pollution in the world has occurred in the last 35 years. One of the important sources of environmental problems is rapid population growth. Rapid population growth brings with it unplanned urbanization. Urban living spaces created to meet the need for good living space of the increasing population cause urban problems. These environmental problems are interconnected, environmental problems that bring out the other with the effect of one. In our country, especially in big cities, air pollution has reached great proportions due to the use of poor quality fuel. In recent years, with the widespread use of natural gas, reductions in air pollution have begun to be seen. In particular, industrial air pollution is increasing. In our country, due to the fact that the municipalities do not fulfill their duties, the fact that the regular garbage storage areas are not established and the treatment facilities are not established on time cause environmental problems to increase. The fact that organized industrial zones with regular and all kinds of infrastructure systems have not been established has led to a large share of industry in environmental problems. Irregular and excessive use of pesticides in agricultural areas has caused soil pollution problems. Soil pollution should also be considered as an environmental problem. The fact that recycling is not widespread has caused problems in the disposal of solid wastes such as plastic materials, glass products and metallic materials that cause environmental pollution. At a time when limiting carbon emissions in order to prevent global warming is of great importance, Turkey ranks seventh in total carbon dioxide emissions compared to European Union countries, with an annual 215.9 million tons, and ranks first in industrial sector emissions, according to 2005 data. Since no inventory is kept of the chemicals produced and used in the industry in Turkey, there is no inventory study on the nature of the wastes. However, with the studies carried out in recent years, inventory records have started to be created. Water resources are gradually decreasing and 20 years ago, 4 thousand cubic meters of water per person fell, but today 1400 cubic meters of water falls. Turkey has started to take place among the “water poor” countries.
