Is it better for graduate students to study environmental impact assessment or atmospheric related environmental materials?

The two directions have different emphases, depending on your future career planning.

1, the EIA is bound by relevant technical guidelines, policy requirements and standards, and has its own technical system. If you do research, it is difficult to develop new technologies and methods, and you may be more exposed to related projects. If you do a lot of projects during school, the advantage is that you can work immediately after graduation, because the contact is similar to the content after work. But at present, the market of EIA has shrunk. After the introduction of the new construction project management catalogue, most projects are now reports, and the registration form has also become a filing system. Judging from the existing environmental protection policies, the planning EIA during the 13th Five-Year Plan period should be the key concern.

2. Materials related to the direction of the atmosphere. This direction has a certain development direction from the perspective of employment or continuing education. In the field of environmental protection, environmental protection products are an important part. After the publication of "Ten Atmospheric Articles", the country has been making great efforts to control air pollution, and with the influence of smog weather, the atmosphere is still relatively important at present. At present, denitrification, desulfurization and dust removal are more important sectors in the air treatment market. Now VOCs have also attracted attention. In this regard, if you do well, you should be able to make a difference.

In short, look at your personal preferences and future career development direction. If you want to pursue further studies and study for a doctorate, experimental and research things may be better, and soft consultation in the environmental industry is relatively difficult to produce results.
