<p class="elementtoproof" style="background:white;margin-bottom:1rem"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:#212529">This 3-credit course uses a lecture/seminar format, and makes use of local air pollution management resources,
to provide a comprehensive overview of community air pollution. Topics covered include: 1) air pollution sources, chemistry and meteorology; 2) effects on human health and the environment; 3) climate change; 4) air quality standards, monitoring and management;
5) air pollution control technology; 6) indoor air; 7) special topics, including wildfire smoke, environmental justice and alternative fuels.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="background:white;margin-bottom:1rem"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:#212529">Instruction is at the level of upper-year undergraduates and graduate students in health-related or related technical fields; there
are higher expectations and more requirements of graduate students including an introduction to using the R programming language for summarizing air quality data. While a relatively comprehensive survey of air pollution topics is provided, there is a clear
public health orientation. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
