| Syllabus: | The unit is an advanced chemistry unit which builds upon and expands the knowledge gained in successful completion of pre-requisite units. Topics to be addressed in this unit include: Aquatic Chemistry: chemistry of natural water systems, including oceans, lakes, rivers, groundwater; physical, chemical and aesthetic indicators of water quality and their analytical methods; water systems as resources and implications on water quality. Atmospheric Chemistry: stratospheric ozone chemistry and tropospheric chemical phenomena, including photochemical smog and acid rain; the mechanism of the Greenhouse Effect and global warming. Biogeochemistry: chemistry of sediments, soils, lakes etc., including molecular markers, stable isotopes, PAHs of organic matter; formation of petroleum and its molecular composition. Environmental toxins: chemistry of environmentally toxic compounds, including source, pervasiveness and persistence; detection; and remediation/regulatory practices. |
