Pollution Analysis and Remediation.

Catalog description

In a practical sense, pollution can be considered to be the presence of something where it shouldn’t otherwise be. Pollution control efforts have historically focused on remediation – cleaning up pollution after the fact, but more recent efforts have focused on designing prevention and control measures to stop pollution before it happens. This course will present students with an overview of different types of pollution, with discussion of hazard/risk assessment, pollution regulation, and remediation technologies to minimize potential effects of pollution. (Spring; Even Year) Prerequisites: ES 1300 or ES 1373 or with permission of instructor. Additional fee associated with this course.
