ATMOSPHERIC CHEMICAL MECHANISMS

CHEM 629

Course Description

Focuses on the chemical mechanisms and kinetics of reactive gases and aerosol in Earth's atmosphere. Fundamental concepts from analytical, physical, and organic chemistry will be used as tools to describe atmospheric processes occurring in both the troposphere and the stratosphere. Specific topics include: Evolution and chemical composition of Earth's atmosphere; applications of the steady-state approximation; residence and renewal time; sources, transformation, transport and deposition of trace gases in the troposphere; air pollution control strategies; stratospheric chemistry.

INTRODUCTION TO AIR QUALITY

ATMOCN/ENVIRST 355

Links chemistry and meteorology to engineering, law, policy, and public health. Presents key ideas in air quality, with focus on reactive pollutants in the outdoor environment, especially gas and particle phase chemicals that react with human tissue to cause sickness and death. Discusses environmental impacts of these pollutants and regulatory approaches for their control in the U.S. and around the world. Indoor air quality will be included. Non-reactive pollutants, especially carbon dioxide, will be compared and contrasted with reactive air pollutants.

THE CHEMISTRY OF AIR POLLUTION

ATMOCN/CIVENGR 701

Covers background and modern research methods for the application of chemical analysis tools to understanding of the origin, composition, and the chemical transformations of pollutants that occur in the atmosphere. Emphasis will be directed at the pollutants impacting human health, climate change, and ecosystem degradation. Approximately half of the course materials will be taken from the scientific literature and will provide the opportunity to advance skills in the critical reading of journal articles. The course is directed at graduate students conducting research and interested in air pollution and environmental chemistry. Gain experiences in presenting scientific research methods and results related to course materials.
