Basic chemical principles of equilibrium, reaction kinetics, and reaction types to develop an understanding of the complex interactions that occur in environmental pollution. Illustrations applicable to chemical and toxicological aspects of environmental issues such as primary and secondary air pollutants, water quality, persistent bioaccumulative pollutants, and toxic metal contamination. This course will provide an appreciation of the analytical methodologies and quantitative aspects of assessing chemical contamination to provide an ability to critique and interpret environmental studies, reports, and literature.

Note: Open only to students in the Bachelor of Environmental Health (After Degree) program or with permission of the Department. Organic Chemistry or Introductory Environmental Chemistry is recommended as a prerequisite.
