Background.
Environmental destruction is one of the most important problems in this century.
Objective.
The aim of the study was to determine the environmental attitudes and perceived risks associated with environmental factors of the students.
Methods.
This cross-sectional study was conducted in 7 faculties of Mersin University.
The research data were collected using a questionnaire.
The questionnaire included sociodemographic characteristics, the “Environmental Attitudes Scale,” and the “Environmental Risk Perception Scale.” 774 students who filled out questionnaires were evaluated.
Results.
The sample included 55.8% females.
Environmental Attitudes Scale mean scores of students were identified as 81.1±11.3.
The highest perceived risk was release of radioactive materials associated with nuclear power generation.
The environmental attitudes and risk perception scores were higher in Health Sciences than in the other faculties.
Females were more positive towards the environment and had higher risk perceptions than the men.
There is a negative correlation between age and resource depletion risk and global environmental risk score.
Conclusion.
Students had a positive attitude to the environment and had moderate-level risk perception about the environment.
Environmental awareness of students, especially those studying in the Social Sciences, should be increased.
The environmental education curriculum should be revised throughout all the courses.
