Course
Description
The goals of this course are
to expand the participants' understanding of current environmental
issues and the centrality of chemistry in providing solutions to
environmental concerns.
The course will provide an
in-depth look at environmental issues impacted, both negatively and
positively, by chemistry. This will include the chemistry of
"pollutants" in air, water, and soil; their transport and fate in the
environment; how they are detected and analyzed, and methods of
remediation. Concepts of risk assessment will also be studied. |
