Environmental Chemistry

 KAWASHIMA Hiroto
Course description
Environmental chemistry is the study to calculate basic concentration and mass balance. Students will learn the overview of pollution and environmental problems and the mechanisms by which they occur. Students will also learn about past and present environmental problems in air, water, and soil, pollution control technologies, and environmental risk management.
Purpose of class
The objective of this class is to cover various environmental problems from the past to the present and to be able to explain their historical backgrounds and countermeasures. Students will also be able to calculate environmental concentrations and risks, and be able to deal with future environmental problems.
Goals and objectives
  1. Calculate unit conversions and mass balances about environmental science
  2. Understand and explain environmental problems and the mechanisms
  3. Understand and explain environmental risk management
