SW 271 - Chemicls & The Environmnt

Institution:

DePaul University

Subject:

Description:

Confusion and controversy permeate the discussion of the role man-made chemicals play in the environment. This course will provide an understanding of some basic principles of chemistry, so students can evaluate current environmental issues in their communities, and in the press. A major emphasis will be on the total picture: benefits, costs, risks, and hazards associated with common man-made chemicals. We will follow the chemicals from their manufacture through their use and ultimate disposal. Demonstrations, discussions, readings, and reports will stimulate the student to critically evaluate the impact a group of chemicals has on the quality of our lives, and on the ecosystem.
