- Description: Measuring concentrations of and changes to environmental pollutants in air, water, soil, and consumer products is central to understanding the impact of the environment on human health. This laboratory course will explore sampling methods and measurement techniques, which are important when considering different exposure to pollutants in the environment.
- Learning Objectives: - Train students in hands-on operation of a range of methods and instrumentation used in air quality, water quality, and consumer products testing. - Teach students to develop sampling plans and approaches to study design. - Provide students practical experience with conducting research in a laboratory setting. - Explore the challenges and decisions that must be made when conducting ambient sampling, particularly in a restricted time window. - Gain experience transforming data from instrument outputs to presentable technical material.
