CH 353 - Fundamentals of Environmental Chemistry

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
In this course, the basic chemistry principles discussed in Chemistry I (CH 200 , CH 200A  and CH 200B ) are applied to provide an understanding of the environment, and to explain what effect certain actions have on it. Natural processes in the atmosphere, waterways, and solid waste system are explained, disruptions to the natural systems are chronicled, and then solutions to these disruptions are suggested. Toxicology of heavy metals and pesticides is explained. Important issues like climate change are discussed. Modern methods of bioremediation are introduced. Since there are no cut and dried answers to environmental problems, nor are these problems static in their identity or scope, a process of scientific thinking will be stressed throughout the course. (prereq: CH 200 , CH 200A , or CH 200B  and junior standing)
