Global Air Pollution

Undergraduate catalogue cross-listing

Students will study the chemical and physical processes involved in the sources, transformation, transport, and sinks of air pollutants on local to global scales. Societal problems such as photochemical smog, particulate matter, greenhouse gases, and stratospheric ozone depletion will be investigated using fundamental concepts in chemistry, physics, and engineering. Environments to be studied include very clean, remote portions of the globe to urban air quality. Prerequisites: CEE 207 or CHM 303/304 or instructor's permission. Two lectures.
