Contaminants and Pollutants Transport in the Environment

4 ch (3C 1T) · Undergraduate

Students explore the physical phenomena governing the transport of contaminants in the environment: diffusion, advection, dispersion, sorption, interphase transfer. Students learn derivation and application of transport equations in air, surface and groundwater pollution; analytical and numerical solutions, as well as equilibrium partitioning of contaminants among air, water, sediment, and biota. Note: Credit cannot be counted for both ENVE 3231 and ENVT 3231 .
