Description
This course is designed to provide the student with an understanding of air pollution at the local, regional, and global levels. The course will focus on Philadelphia's air quality and how air pollutants have an adverse effect on the health of residents. Through a partnership with Philadelphia Air Management Services (AMS), the science of air monitoring and trends will be explored. The city's current non-attainment status for PM 2.5 and ozone will be studied, as well as current initiatives to improve air quality. Students will learn to measure PM 2.5 in indoor and outdoor settings and develop community-based outreach tools to effectively inform the community about air pollution.
