Environmental Engineering: Air Pollution and Treatment (edX)

First, we focus on what pollutants can be present in air and how these pollutants move and spread in the air. Second, we will investigate indoor air quality and macroscale air-related problems including acid rain, ozone depletion, and global warming. Finally, we will study the impact of climate change on our lives and our environment and how we can mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the change.

What you'll learn

- Types of air pollutants and how they spread in the air

- Overview of microscale, mesoscale, and macroscale air problems

- Impact of climate change to our lives and environment
