Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Relationship between meteorology and air composition at local and global scales
Air pollution, causes and effects:
health, environment and climate impacts
Main pollutants, sources, transport pathways, global distribution and interaction with the environment:
sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, PAH, PAN, VOCs, ozone, carbon monoxide, natural and anthropogenic aerosols and the special case of microplastics
Primary and secondary emission processes, occurrence and abundance: combustion, volatilization, mechanical processes (i.e. abrasion, erosion,
resuspension), natural processes of emissions.
Atmospheric deposition: dry and wet
Introduction to the tools for air pollutant monitoring: state of the art of remote sensing and in-situ measurements techniques and modelling tools

Greenhouse gases
Sources
Methods to determine sources (inventories, inverse modelling)
UNFCCC reporting

Emergency preparedness: Chemical/nuclear accidents
Environmental radioactivity
Renewable energies: forecasting, regional potentials, engineering aspects and planning (off-shore wind, etc.)
Solar
Wind
Hydro
Biomass

Assessment and permitted materials

The exam will be oral. The student must have obtained knowledge and understanding of all topics of the course.

There will no aids be allowed (or needed) during the examination.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Questions will be asked across the full course content.

At least 50% of the questions must be answered completely correctly.

Examination topics

The examination covers the full content of the course. Course slides will be provided and define the course content. However, slides will probably not be sufficient, since explanations will be given in more detail during the lectures.

Reading list

Literature will be provided in each section of the course (will also be listed in the slides shared with the students).
