EnvE 423
Principles of Air Quality Management and Control
Description
A first course on air quality and air pollution, dealing with: types of gaseous and particulate pollutants and their sources, effects of air pollution on man, vegetation, and materials, indoor air pollution, sampling and analysis of air pollutants, air pollution meteorology and dispersion, control techniques for gaseous and particulate pollutants, and air quality management aspects.Prerequisite: ENV E 325. Credit cannot be obtained for both ENV E 323 and ENV E 423.
Learning Outcomes
- Determine the concentration and emission rates of air pollutants at actual and standard conditions using ideal gas law.- Determine the size characteristics of a particle size distribution using statistical descriptors.
- Determine terminal settling velocity for a particle using Newton and Stokes laws.
- Identify the health and non-health impacts of common air pollutants and the need to regulate them.
- Develop treatment options to control gaseous and particulate air pollutants from industrial air streams.
- Predict the performance of air pollution control devices.
- Assess indoor and ambient air quality using gas and particle sampling techniques.
- Predict the fate of air pollutants in the atmosphere using principles of meteorology and atmospheric dispersion.
