-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide the tools and foundations necessary to understand the physical, chemical & biological properties of environmental contaminants and their effects on the living population and ecosystems. The course is designed to teach an understanding of the basic principles of water, air and soil pollutants. Topics examined include sources of contaminants, their fate, transport in multiple environmental media and treatment of such factors. Environmental health factors associated with the problems stemming from contamination of air, water, and food. Lectures and labs will cover these properties of specific contaminants in the environment, their monitoring techniques, and their interactive effects with water, air and soil. International/global issues related to the environment will also be examined. This course provides a qualitative and quantitative approach based on the integration of technology, mathematics, physical, chemical and biological sciences. Lecture: 3 hours. Lab: 2 hours. 4 credits
