This course examines current global environmental issues that have a basis in chemistry. The chemistry of air, water, soil and living systems is described at an introductory level, while incorporating the relevance of anthropogenic activity and impact on both the causes and solutions to these problems. Core chemical foundations, such as conservation of mass, understanding the periodic table, and molecular structure, will be discussed. NOTE: This course cannot be used as a substitute for CHEM 1001, CHEM 1012 or CHEM 1982. |
