This course introduces several concepts which will provide students with a basic knowledge of several air quality issues. We will first discuss sources and classifications of air pollutants, followed by a brief primer on relevant atmospheric science. Following this, we will focus on two aspects related to atmospheric chemistry: tropospheric ozone formation and secondary aerosol production. Prereq: Chem 1220,1250, or equiv, and Math 2177, 2174, or 2415, and enrollment in CivilEn or EnvEng major; or Grad standing; or permission of instructor.
