CHEM 4750 - Advanced Environmental Chemistry

Credit Hours: 3

This is an in-depth elective course in the chemistry curriculum. It focuses on the sources, transport, reactions, effects and fate of chemical species in the atmosphere, hydrosphere and geosphere. Transformation and interaction of chemical contaminants within and between the three environmental systems are covered. Advanced chemistry concepts such as thermodynamics, photolysis, catalytic reactions, chemical equilibria, and kinetics are emphasized in the course. Case studies and contemporary literature in the field are discussed.

Prerequisite: CHEM 2250 and CHEM 3400
