Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
- Understand the basic processes and mechanisms that lead to the generation, transport, diffusion and physicochemical transformation of air and particulate pollutants in the atmosphere and indoors.
- Have knowledge about basic methods and devices for air quality assessment.
- Prioritize the levels of air quality to which humans are exposed in relation to their activities, and in relation to the space and time in which such activities take place.
- Estimate, using simple mathematical models and computational intelligence methods, the levels of air pollution.
- Analyze and assess the conditions leading to increased levels of air pollution, particularly within urban areas (urban heat island, street canyons, urban meteorology, emissions from urban activities, etc.)
- Understand key issues of biological weather (airborne allergens, etc.) and their synergies with conventional air pollutants.
- Understand the key mechanisms linking urban development and climate change to air quality levels.
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
