Article Abstract:

The decreasing demand for environmental services should not discourage environmental engineering firms because several trends indicate the existence of many opportunities for future growth. These include new definitions of risk, the uncertainty surrounding environmental policies, and a shift in demand drivers from regulatory pressures towards corporate cost control. In addition, the industry's client base is evolving towards pollution prevention technology from pollution control services.
