Air Quality, Aerosols, and Health

3 Hours

Explore physicochemical processes governing indoor and outdoor air quality, human exposure to gas-phase and particle-phase pollutants, and factors affecting human health. Examine the connection between air quality, regulatory perspectives, engineering solutions and acute and chronic environmental issues impacting human exposure. Discuss research questions through efficient data retrieval and run simple dispersion models. Environmental Engineering 369Q and 377K (Topic: Air Quality/Aerosols/Health) may not both be counted. Three lecture hours a week for one semester.
