Introduction to chemical principles in the natural and altered environment. This course covers the fundamentals of organic and inorganic chemistry in the context of the pressing environmental issues: air pollution, stratospheric ozone depletion, climate change, water pollution, and environmental contaminants.
Prerequisites: ENVS 280 and (CHEM 102 or CHEM 180); Restricted to Majors and Minors in the School of Environmental Sustainability.
Outcomes: Understand chemistry behind environmental problems; predict solubility, reactivity, storage in environmental compartments; understand different chemical models used to determine fate and transport of chemicals in the environment.
