Atmospheric Pollution

Fundamentals of atmospheric pollution with emphasis on emissions from major sources such as combustion. Principal pollutants discussed are: particles, trace metals, sulfur-, nitrogen-, and carbon oxides, oxidants, and hazardous organics; as well as the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of their formation. Role of meteorology in pollutant emission, atmospheric transport, and atmospheric chemistry, source/receptor relationships, including modeling of these relationships using one or more computer models. Some aspects of engineering control of emissions. Prerequisites: ENGR-1500 and CHME-4010. Fall term annually.
