The course outlined in the prompt starts an in-depth study of the nature of atmospheric pollution, its types and characteristics, with a focus on atmospheric chemicals and reactions, and the measurement and monitoring of ambient air quality. The course goes on to explore major atmospheric pollution issues, including urban air pollution, photochemical smog, industrial particulate matter emission, acid gas deposition, industrial gaseous pollutants control, flue gas system engineering, indoor air pollution, climate change, and global warming.
Throughout the course, students are introduced to the origin, nature, and scientific explanation of related issues, impacts and consequences, controlling routes and technologies, and the inter-governmental efforts made through intervention and regulation for mitigation. This comprehensive approach allows students to gain a deep understanding of the complex and interrelated issues surrounding atmospheric pollution.
The course also provides practical examples and problems to aid in understanding, with approximately 500 PowerPoint slides presented over 14 lecture presentations. In addition, students are provided with weekly practical exercises, individual presentations, and two field trip reports, which allow for hands-on learning and application of course concepts.
This course is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students in earth science, atmospheric science, meteorology, environmental science, environmental engineering, and management. It is also valuable for researchers, lecturers, and instructors among general audiences, who seek a deeper understanding of atmospheric pollution and engineering solutions.
To facilitate learning, the course is supported by e-learning channels in Microsoft Teams and Zoom conferencing solutions, which provide web-based and software interface options for live interactions with instructors and fellow students.
