-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the science of atmospheric behavior. Topics include the structure of the atmosphere, climate, fundamentals of the weather, cloud formation, atmospheric motions, air masses, pollution, and use of meteorological instruments. Lecture: 3 hours per week. 3 credits
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BI 110 or EV 110 or CH 110or BT 110. This course provides a comprehensive examination of environmental health issues through the scientific understanding of causes and possible future approaches to control major environmental health problems. This would include pollution problems and topics in environmental pollutants; environmental contamination with physical, chemical, and biological agents, vectors dissemination (air, water, soil); solid and hazardous waste; biomarkers and risk analysis. The course will cover environment to human interactions and their impact. Environmental carcinogenesis, cell injury, food- and water-borne disease and risk analysis. Lab methods will include forensic toxicology, analysis of toxic drinking water contaminants, food microbiology, and bacterial toxins. Lecture: 3 hours per week. Lab: 3 hours per week. 4 credits
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: EV 110, BI 120, CH 120. This course covers the structure, biochemistry, physiology and classification of the microorganisms that have ecological and industrial significance. It also includes the basic sampling, analysis and testing technologies in air, water, and soil. Site-remedial techniques including bio-remedial technique will also be reviewed. The course will consider the role of microorganisms in the environment and investigate the use of microbes in various industrial applications. The classifications of microbial toxins, enzymes, and other hazardous products of microbial toxicology and management procedures will be covered. Lecture: 3 hours per week. Lab: 3 hours per week. 4 credits

3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BI 101 or 110 or EV 110 or CH 101 or 110. In this course environmental management will be examined from different perspectives including socioeconomic and community aspects. Global issues as well as American environmental issues will also be considered. Integrated environmental management is offered as a means of limiting the effects of problems. This is considered in the light of environmental ethics and legislation. Other aspects covered include risk environment impact assessment and consequences, including the evaluation process. Tools used for capacity building will be developed, and several major case studies will be explored. Issues related to the sustainable use of environmental resources will also be emphasized. The Safety analysis will study the implementation and identification of major categories for both safety and environmental hazards prevention techniques through the development of programs appropriate for dealing with them. This course will also study the development of procedures in occupational safety models of accidents as well as techniques of investigation, emergency hazards, and risk assessment. Lecture: 3 hours per week. 3 credits

3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: EV 110, EV 201, and EV 210. This course will present critical issues associated with toxins in the environment through the examination of physiological, epidemiological, and biochemical effects, as well as the mechanisms of action of such toxins on the human body. The course will cover the sources, definitions, and classifications of toxins and their effects on the human body and the environment. The relationship between toxins, the rate of mutations and cancers will be studied. The effects of exposure to asbestos, lead, organic solvents, radiation, and germs, as well as prevention and control will be discussed. The role of the immune system and the role of immuno-toxicology in defending the body will be covered. Applying these fields to understand how substances in the environment directly affect human health will be addressed. Environmental regulations, risk assessment, and the roles of science, society, and government in protecting the health of humans and the environment will be reviewed. Lecture: 3 hours. Lab: 3 hours. 4 credits.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: EV 210, CH 211. This is a hands-on practical course to train students in a specific area of environmental science. The course will be supervised by a faculty member who will define the area of study with each student in association with mentors from the various fields. Examples of these fields are: Air and Water Quality, Water Microbiology, Hazardous Waste Handling Food Hygiene, and Safety, Marine Microbiology, Environmental Preservation, Drinking Water and Sewer Treatment. The instruction will be conducted both on campus and at selected field sites. Predetermined outcomes and assessment procedures must be identified prior to the training. Techniques such as protein toxin isolation, DNA extraction and sequencing, microbial identification, gas chromatography and other chromatography methods, including colorimeter and spectrophotometric methods will be used. Students will present their findings in national scientific conferences. Each student should spend at least 160 hours involved in lab work sample collection and practice in the preparation and presentation of oral and written reports. 4 credits
