3.00 Credits
3 semester hours Prerequisites: ESOH 180 and CHEM 130 This course is an introduction to the scientific methods of anticipating and recognizing occupational and environmental hazards that may cause injury or disease among workers and/or citizens of a community. Emphasis is placed upon the general workplace standards of OSHA. Specific topics include the entry and action of biological, chemical, and physical hazards, air sampling, monitoring, selection, and use of personal protective equipment. Case examples are used throughout.
-
4.00 Credits
4 semester hours Prerequisite(s): ESOH 100, 180, and 270 or permission of instructor This course studies the federal legislative and regulatory processes associated with the regulation of air quality, air contaminant sources, surface water quality, sources of water pollutants, drinking water, solid and hazardous waste, the remediation of soil and groundwater, and the reporting of the storage and releases of hazardous and toxic chemicals. Specific study is made of the Administrative Procedure Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, and the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act and their implementing regulations. Resources utilized include the United States Code, the Federal Register, and the Code of Federal Regulations.
-
4.00 Credits
4 semester hours Prerequisite(s): ESOH 100, 180, 270, 300, and MATH 123 or permission of the instructor Participants implement procedures for planning, collecting, documenting, and interpreting and assessing the quality of environmental sampling data. Case studies are used to assist students in preparing a sampling and analysis plan for contaminants and sites selected by participants. A group sampling exercise is planned and completed by the class at a site. USEPA sampling guidelines are applied throughout the course.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours Prerequisite(s): ESOH 315 and CHEM 325 and 325L or any other organic chemistry lecture and laboratory course or permission of instructor Concurrent: with ESOH 316L This course provides an introduction to the fundamentals, techniques, and applications of "classical" (wet)and instrumental methods of analysis by examining standardized measurement techniques in environmental and health and safety investigations as the foundation of defensible decision making.
-
1.00 Credits
1 semester hour Prerequisite(s): ESOH 315 and CHEM 325 and 325L or any other organic chemistry lecture and laboratory course or permission of instructor Concurrent: with ESOH 316 Measurements of volatile, semi-volatile, and inorganic compounds and metals are conducted following APHA, ASTM, AWWA, EPA, and NIOSH standard methods. Sample matrices tested include soil, water, and air. Both field and laboratory procedures are utilized. Students conduct both field sampling and pertinent analysis of collected samples.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours This course will focus on two areas of emergency management, the contracting for goods and services before, during, and after an emergency; and, the financial management of emergencies from the point of view of governmental agencies, businesses, and individuals.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours This course will explore the theory underlying the following national standards and industry procedures: National Incident Management System (NIMS), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1600, Unified Command, Incident Command System, Mutual Aid and the National Model, Liaison, and Communicating in an emergency.
-
4.00 Credits
4 semester hours Prerequisites: ESOH core, BIOL 201, and a physics course This course is a continuation of the concepts of ESOH 270. The first two-thirds of the course places emphasis on methodologies of gas, vapor, and aerosol sampling; including instrumentation function and calibration. The last third of the course involves measurement and evaluation of physical hazards including noise, heat stress, lighting, and ergonomic hazards. The course will include a major emphasis upon the types of problems and calculations likely to be found in the ABIH certification examination. The course has laboratory exercises and uses a case study to explore the methods of sampling.
-
4.00 Credits
4 semester hours Prerequisite(s): ESOH core or permission of instructor This course is an advanced application course which studies the preparation and analysis of air and water permits and the preparation of quarterly and annual reports, all of which are submitted to state and federal regulators. Students examine and complete various federal and state permit applications regulating air contaminant sources, surface water discharges, discharges to sanitary sewers, and storm-water discharges. The course also requires the study of annual generator hazardous waste reports, hazardous chemical inventories, toxic release inventories, and the requirements associated with accidental release reports under the Clean Water Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Responses Compensation and Liability Act, and the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act. The course also studies the regulatory enforcement process associated with an entity's noncompliance with permits and reports, including the administrative and judicial processes, penalty calculations, and negotiations.
-
4.00 Credits
4 semester hours Prerequisites: ESOH 270, 300, 335, and one course each in chemistry and math This course is a comprehensive overview of treatment technologies currently in use in the environmental industry. The course explores both theoretical and practical aspects using a case study approach.
