CHM 110 - Environmental Chemistry

Min Credits: 4

CHM110 is an introductory course covering the chemical basis for understanding our surroundings: Earth’s environment. Environmental chemistry is the study of the distribution and interactions of matter (chemicals) in the environment. It deals with the reactions, fates, movements, and sources of chemicals in water, atmospheric, and soil systems. Basic chemistry principles, required to understand environmental chemical processes, will be the focus for this course. In addition, the environmental chemistry of water and wastewater treatment, and the impacts of human activity have on Earth’s systems will be introduced. Laboratory exercises will be conducted weekly to reinforce the Environmental principles and develop analytical thinking and sound laboratory technique and practices.
