ENV 4101 Elements of Air Pollution

ENV 5105 Foundations of Air Pollution

Spring 2008
M&W Periods 4-5, PSY 151

      Clean air is important because we can not live without air for more than a few minutes!  Air pollution causes harms to animals and plants, results in damages to structures and properties, and interfere visibility.  Episodes of serious air pollution causing many deaths have been reported in the history numerous times (e.g. 1948 Donora Smog and 1952 London smog), and chronicle health effects resulting from air pollution have also been documented.  In a global scale, it also affects the climate.  No wonder it has been reported by Congress that the passage and implementation of clean air regulations contribute to more than 90% of the benefits of all environmental regulations!!!

To improve the air quality we breathe and to wisely utilize the air resources we have, the first thing is to get to know the air surrounding us.  In this class, we will accomplish this goal by learning the four key aspects of this subject, which are presented in the diagram below:
