Introduction to air pollutants. Upon completion, students will have a knowledge of which air pollutants are of concern, their source, fate, atmospheric transport and transformation and policies developed to help manage the problem. Topics include: air pollutants of importance, air pollution impacts, sources of air pollutants, atmospheric transport (including dispersion and deposition), atmospheric chemistry, aerosol chemistry and physics, control strategy development and air pollution management. Additionally, the course covers indoor air pollution with an emphasis on issues related to airborne viral disease emission, transport, and infection. Prerequisite: Chemistry 20, 21, or 101DL, or graduate standing.
