This course introduces you to the science, management, and regulation of environmental contamination/pollution with emphasis on analysis of sources, pathways, and impacts.

Physical, chemical, and biological processes control contamination of air, water, and soil and it is essential to understand decimation processes and impactors to enable effective monitoring and mitigation of effects. Contaminants are released into the environment via natural and anthropogenic (domestic, leisure, industrial, agriculture and commercial activities) processes and many be harmful to human and ecosystem health. Monitoring mobility and impact of contamination involves using modern technologies which may be automated and remote.

In this course, we will focus on the sources, pathways and consequences of contamination as well as discussing the various approaches to pollution control, remediation, and sustainability; all in the context of the environmental and human health. This course covers important topics aligned with the UN-Sustainable development goals for Good Health and Well Being, Clean Water and Sanitation, Climate Action, Life Below Water, and Life on Land.
