Course Outline (Jan., 2021) (Click here to download the extended syllabus)
Description This course deals with processes affecting the circulation, speciation, transformation, and bioavailability of chemical species in the aquatic environment. The objective is to develop a theoretical basis for the understanding of transport and transformation of chemicals in natural waters, as well as in engineered wastewater treatment facilities. The course draws primarily on the principles of physical chemistry; however, a fundamental understanding of geology and biology will be very helpful. This course does not have a lab section. Students are strongly encouraged to take the course "Instrumental Analysis" (CHEM3590) which introduces important analytical techniques for environmental studies.
