This course explores important chemical reactions that affect the measurement and activity of key environmental components. Students will learn to describe the chemistry and behavior of significant elements and compounds within the environment, identify principles and applications of environmental analyses and measurements, conduct chemical analyses, and interpret results using laboratory and database techniques. The course includes practical analytical activities requiring on-campus attendance.
