Chemistry of the Environment
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.
