1.00 Credits
Performance of a series of individual experiments that illustrates the important principles of environmental chemistry and the actual techniques used in practice. Experiments include alkalinity and hardness, measurement of a metal-ligand binding constant, applied chemical kinetics, determination of Freundlich and Langmuir absorption relations, breakpoint chlorination studies, SEM-AVS measurements and their relationship to heavy metal toxicity in sediments, and the determination of the octanol-water partition coefficient for an important organic pollutant. Spring. (Cr. 1)
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to air quality and solid waste management. Meteorology, atmosphere transport and dispersion; effects of air pollution on human health; indoor air quality and air quality monitoring; overview of the Clean Air Act and other standards. Solid waste characteristics and quantities; handling, processing, resource recovery and disposal of solid wastes, principles of landfill design. Three lectures. Spring. (Cr. 3)
-
3.00 Credits
