Content

• Nature of air pollution, origins, relative types and characteristics
• Sources and relative effects of air pollutants and industrial flue gas control measures.
• Integrated approaches in ambient air quality and pollution control
• Controlling principles, routes and processes for gaseous pollutants in general.
• Common methods, devices and industrial applications of aerosol particle control.
• Atmospheric photochemistry, urban photochemical smog pollution control strategy and clean air programmes.
• Large-scale effects of air pollution: global warming, ozone layer depletion and acid rain.
• Energetic solution and related carbon capture, transport and storage issues in atmospheric pollution mitigation.
• Ambient air quality monitoring and industrial source sampling schemes.
• Fundamentals of air pollution modelling

+ Atmospheric pollution and climate change
Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)

- The students will be able to identify the essential components of the air pollution phenomena, types, correlated effects, transformation processes and integrated approaches to controlling.
- The students know the recent practices of energy conversion applications for heat production and electricity generation and related industrial flue gas emissions.
- The students know ambient air quality monitoring, industrial source sampling and relevant analytical measurement.
- The students will be able to explain the common principles, routes and processes in controlling the gaseous pollutants and aerosol particles.
- The students know examples of industrial gaseous emission control devices, technologies and system schematic design.
- The students will be able to explain the urban air pollution, types of smog, controlling strategies and clean air programs in European cities.
- The students practically exercise the major atmospheric pollution issues in recent days and therefore discuss the energetic solutions on a comparative basis of atmospheric pollution mitigation.
