Chemistry 484 - Environmental Methods of Analysis

Institution:

Hiram College

Subject:

Description:

Satisfying the requirements of the environmental laws and regulations is possible only with defendable and accurate laboratory results based on approved methodologies, current instrumentation and technologies, and well-trained and qualified personnel. The large diversity of the literature in this field and the diffuse sources of the necessary information make training difficult. The goal of this course is to provide guidelines for any individual working in the environmental arena by examining selected analytical procedures most often used by governing agencies for the evaluation of environmental pollutants. Analytical methods used for the analysis of air, water, and soil will be considered. Topics will include methods used for the analysis of drinking and wastewater, air sampling for asbestos and various gases and particulates, and soil methodologies. The laboratory experiments are designed to emphasize the appropriate laboratory technique utilized in determining the chemical constituents in environmental samples along with their chemistry, occurrence, source, fate, and their control by regulations and standards.
