Course objectives:
The overall course objective is to introduce the students to the problem of air pollution, and to provide them with skills that will equip them to be able to measure, model, and predict quantities that are relevant to air pollution levels and air quality. Basic theoretical understanding of the fundamental aspects of the problem will be built, while more applied lectures and projects will provide knowledge and hands-on experience on modelling tools and measurement techniques of air pollution levels.
