Environmental Chemistry of Atmospheric Processes (EN550)

A wide-ranging introduction to atmospheric processes and air pollution control, including atmospheric composition, sources, transport, and the fate of pollutants. Study pollutant effects on acid rain, climate global warming, vegetation, soil, water, surface deterioration, visibility, and odors. Learn about chemical and photochemical reactions, and aerosol properties. You will come to understand radiation and energy balances. Studying absorption and adsorption, filtration, and chemical destruction pollutants in air pollution control systems, you will be introduced to atmospheric layers, pressure will height and large-scale motion. You will perform basic calculations of concentrations, mass balance, and chemical reactions.
