Learning Outcomes
The student understands how the atmosphere functions. They know the development goals related to air quality and climate change, and is able to participate in current professional discussions and can justify future development needs.
The student knows the most important air pollutants, their environmental and health effects as well as sources and the most common minimization and cleaning techniques.
The student can calculate the composition of the flue gases formed and evaluate their dispersion using a simple air quality dispersion model.
