Environmental Chemistry
Environmental Chemistry Lab
Environmental Chemistry & Health
In this interdisciplinary course we will integrate organic, physical, and analytical chemistry to understand relationships between the molecular structure of environmental organic contaminants and their behavior in natural and built environments. We will examine human and wildlife exposure to toxins and foundational principles of environmental toxicology and endocrine disruption in order to assess the health implications of environmental pollution. Laboratory projects will familiarize students with methods of monitoring pollution, predicting chemical behavior, and assessing toxicity. (CHEM 0104 or CHEM 0107) 3 hrs. lect., 3 hrs. lab
