| Environmental chemistry is the study of chemical and biochemical phenomena that occur in nature. In this class we will evaluate the sources, reactions, transport, effects, and fates of chemical species. It is important to understand reactions that occur naturally in order to evaluate impacts of problems humankind has created. We will also explore the chemistry behind methods to evaluate and address environmental chemistry issues. |
