Learning outcomes
The purpose of this course is to provide the chemical basis necessary for the understanding of chemical phenomena and natural environmental changes caused by chemical pollution. It discusses the main quality parameters of natural waters, the main phenomena of air pollution and soil pollution and the environmental consequences of energy production. It also provides an overview on chemical monitoring of the physical quality of water and air.
Program
Air-water interaction: dissolution of the gas.
Acid-base equilibria of the system H2O-CO2, acidity and alkalinity.
Interaction water-soil (solubility, redox reactions and complexation) salinity, hardness, iron and manganese, trace metals.
Organic coimpunds destination in the environment: distribution and biodegradation. Organic pollution (BOD, COD, TOC, nitrogen and phosphorus).
Chemical composition of the atmosphere and photochemical reactivity. Ozone layer and the ozone hole. Pollution from combustion gas emissions, NOx, SOx, particulate matter, acid precipitation, VOC, photochemical smog.
Main environmental properties of the soil, sources of soil contamination, chemical contaminants and key interactions.
Energy sources, combustion processes and pollution.
Examination Methods
Written test with multiple choice questions and free answers.
