Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course students will be able to:
- Understand the basic processes and mechanisms associated with the generation, transport, diffusion and physicochemical transformation of air and particulate pollutants in the ambient air as well as indoors.
- Know basic elements of environmental meteorology
- Have knowledge of basic devices for measuring air & particulate pollutant concentrations with emphasis on low-cost internet of things devices
- Estimate, using simple mathematical models, air pollution levels.
- Have knowledge of the elements that link urban activities and urban metabolism to air quality levels in a city (urban heat island, street canyons, urban meteorology, emissions from city activities, urban greening, built environment geometry, 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.
