Air is an inevitable substance for life, yet the increases in world population, the transformation of the Earth?s landscapes, and the growth of industry have resulted in an increase in atmospheric pollution. Generally this pollution is a major consequence of modern society and has serious consequences for the health of human beings and severely affects natural ecosystems. This course will address questions such as: What have we learned about atmospheric pollution over the course of industrial history? How does today?s increased population and industrial use impact the atmosphere? What does the future hold in terms of prevention of atmospheric pollution?
