Unit Code: CHM806

Unit Name: Advanced Environmental Chemistry

Description: This course builds upon the knowledge gained in CHM604 and provides an indepth understanding of environmental problems and therelated chemistry behind them. It discusses major environmental issue, their causes and harmful effects and delves into lessons learnt fromenvironmental case studies. This course also talks about the cycling, accumulation migration transformation and toxicology of environmental contaminants. It also deals with chemical analysis of air, water,soil and waste and emphasises om pollution prevention through Green Chemistry. Furthermore, it elaborates on the research opportunities in environmental chemistry applicable at local, national, regional and global levels.
