What is the difference between ecology and environmental science?
December 14th, 2009 | 
Author: I am currently doing a research report on the science of e-waste. What kind of a textbook would help me out best – environmental science or ecology? I am looking for a book that explains HOW chemicals like mercury, lead, cadmium, along with plastics, affect the environment.

Environmental science is the study of the interactions among the physical, chemical and biological components of the environment; with a focus on pollution and degradation of the environment related to human activities; and the impact on biodiversity and sustainability from local and global development.
The subdiscipline of biology that concentrates on the relationships between organisms and their environments; it is also called environmental biology. Ecology is concerned with patterns of distribution (where organisms occur) and with patterns of abundance (how many organisms occur) in space and time.
that would be environmental science
Ecology refers to the relationship between living organisms and how they relate to non-living things. Environmental science on the other hand, relates to man and how he relates to his surroundings. i.e. it is more anthropocentric
Environmental science is to make money , ecologic science is for save the planete.
Business men and dreamers don’t look in the same direction.
That why we need invente an environmental ecology or an ecology of environnement.
