CHEM 4200 - Environmental Chemistry

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Chemistry

Description:

This course will focus on the fundamental principles of chemistry necessary for understanding of the source, fate, and reactivity of compounds in natural and polluted environments. Emphasis will be placed on the environmental implications of energy utilization and on the chemistry of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. Environmental issues that will be discussed include air pollution, stratospheric ozone depletion, pollution and treatment of water sources, and the utilization of insecticides and herbicides. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Describe the chemistry of the atmosphere and environmental and health consequences of indoor and outdoor pollution. 2. Describe the nature, reactivity, and environmental fates of toxic organic chemicals. 3. Discuss the chemistry of natural waters and their pollution and purification. 4. Evaluate environmental chemistry issues and generating a comprehensive scientific report. Prerequisite: CHEM 2320 (Grade C or higher). FA (odd)
