Subject Group of Built Environment 3406 Atmospheric Environment Engineering Winter Description and rationale: Recently human activities affect on environment and global climate. This lecture outlines air pollution phenomena, and effects of air pollution on human health, ecosystems and global climate. Physical and chemical properties of photochemical air pollution are studied. And, phenomena and pollution control for atmospheric global environment problems are studied as stratospheric ozone depletion, acid deposition and global warming. Emitting, control and climatic effect of atmospheric aerosols are also studied. Keywords: air pollution, photochemical smog, stratospheric ozone depletion, acid precipitation, global warming, atmospheric aerosols Pre-requisite: A grounding of meteorology and inorganic chemistry Expected students: master and doctoral Instructors: Prof Sachio OHTA ([email protected]) Dr S Yamagata ([email protected]) Course outline: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) Introduction Human activities and air pollution Effects of air pollution on human health Stratospheric ozone depletion Acid precipitation Global warming Atmospheric aerosols Aerosol effect on global climate Grading: 20%: class participation 40%: assignments (4-5 assignments are required during the term) 40%: final exam Textbooks and references: 1) Handout made by the course instructor will be delivered. 2) References are shown below. ・Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, From air pollution to climate change: J.H.
