ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING SCIENCE:
ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSES (CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL PATHWAYS)
This course will cover chemical and biological processes in the pristine
and stressed environment. The course will deal with the mechanisms which
pertain to the dispersion and fate of both naturally occurring and
xenobiotic compounds in the environment. The use of such information and
its incorporation into environmental models will be discussed. The
effect of environmental impact on chemical and biogeochemical processes
will br emphasized.
