MTO 346E - Air Pollution Modelling

Course Objectives

Objective of the course is mainly to provide the attendants with concept physical and chemical fundamentals, and model to equip the students with necessary concepts and events to enable them; to organize the air pollution problems in the framework of air pollution control system, analyze and relate them to the atmospheric conditions. This course explores aspects of the science of atmospheric pollution modeling, looking at issues such as atmospheric conditions, model equations, and air quality.
