      Pollution. A Case Study in Granada.

AB  - Pollution is shown as the environmental challenge, which has the greatest impact 
      on global climate change. Faced with this situation, numerous environmental 
      summits agree on the fact that Environmental Education needs to be implemented 
      within the different disciplines and educational institutions. Therefore, Further 
      Education must foster the research and management of environmental education with 
      the aim of developing responsible citizens with sustainable attitudes. Based on 
      this idea, this paper aimed to analyse the attitudes in Further Education 
      students towards different situations and habits linked to pollution, as well as 
      some of its varied typologies (chemical pollution, acoustic pollution and 
      management of solid urban waste and rubbish). To achieve this, a sample of 307 
      students from different degrees of Preschool and Primary Education was included, 
      using a questionnaire as a measuring instrument. The methodology of the study was 
      both descriptive, through the analysis of its measures, and inferential, with the 
      preparation of a confirmatory conceptual model through the structural equation 
      model (SEM). Results revealed that students are highly concerned about the 
      different situations proposed, and that the predictive model forges strong 
      correlations between the four variables of the study. Hence, the study focused on 
      the idea of trying to enhance environmental awareness in the groups of students 
      from different educational phases, to subsequently foster the implementation of 
      specific actions aimed at preserving and conserving natural resources, and to 
      guide society towards sustainable development.
