Features: In the past half century, with the development of society and the increasingly severe environmental pollution and destruction, environmental science, as a new discipline, has also been developing rapidly. Environmental quality assessment is an important branch of environmental science. It starts from the basic concepts of environmental quality, based on the fundamental principles of environmental value, and employs various means and methods to study and evaluate the impact of human activities on the environment, as well as the impact of changes in environmental quality on human social behavior, survival, and development. This discipline holds significant theoretical and practical importance for the development of the entire field of environmental science, as well as for economic construction and social development. In particular, environmental impact assessment has become a basic system in China's environmental protection work and has been explicitly stipulated in environmental protection laws. Currently, in environmental science and environmental engineering programs at various universities, environmental assessment is regarded as a compulsory professional course.
