Environmental Science About

Environmental Health Scientist An environmental health scientist does research or carries out investigations geared at identifying, minimizing, or eliminating pollutants or other hazards that are a health concern. The work can involve examination of air, water, and soil for both biological and non-biological material. Examination of a river for an oil spill is very different from sampling air for the presence of a biological agent such as the bacterium that causes anthrax. These aims call for different skills, so an environmental health scientist is really an umbrella term that includes people who are experts in different areas.

Being an environmental health scientist can mean spending days at a desk analyzing reports and preparing summary documents of a clean-up operation. However, other days might be spent at the site of a spill or other environmental situation. In the era of bioterrorism, organizations including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and state law enforcement agencies have a need for the skills and training of an environmental health scientist.

You can expect a better salary structure in environmental science like any other field. Salary may vary according to the size of the organization, sectors, working location, education, and various other factors. 

We are giving you a rough idea here. The figures we are showing here may vary according to the organization. In India, the minimum salary of a bachelor’s degree holder in this field is around Rs 8 lakh per annum.

With a good experience in this field along with a master’s or Ph.D. degree, the average salary can go up to Rs. 10 lahks per annum.

One can easily earn from Rs 5,000 to Rs 15,000 per month in NGO jobs as a fresher. In private industries, the starting salaries range from Rs 8,000 to Rs 15,000 per month approx. In the research field, the pay can start at approximately Rs 9,000 to Rs 12,000.  The actual structures may vary in different organizations.
