EV 250 Environmental Chemistry
In this course students will use the fundamental principles of chemistry to gain an understanding of the source, fate, and reactivity of compounds in natural and polluted environments. Emphasis will be placed on the environmental implications of energy utilization and on the chemistry of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. Environmental issues that will be discussed include climate change, air pollution, stratospheric ozone depletion, pollution and treatment of water sources, the utilization of insecticides and herbicides. The course will include a laboratory component in which students will perform indoor/outdoor experimental activities. Three one-hour lectures and one two-hour lab per week.
