Air Pollution programme
New dates: November 2023
Venue: Newcastle University
About the programme
The module aims to:
- introduce the fundamentals of air pollution with a background on historical perspective on air pollution and a commentary on current air quality policies and standards
- discuss major pollutants, their sources and their effects (environmental and health)
- introduce the methods to estimate air pollution emission from point sources with an emphasis on power generation
- examine the theory of dispersion of air pollution in the atmosphere.
- discuss fundamental approaches for air pollution modelling
- explore air quality monitoring and point source air pollution control methods
- discuss renewable power generation and implications for air pollution of transitioning to net zero carbon
- introduce the issues of indoor air pollution and personal exposure to air pollution
During the course we will cover the following topics:
- History of air pollution
- Sources of air pollution
- Health and environmental effects of major air pollutants
- Monitoring of emissions and air pollutants in ambient air
- Modelling and control of emission from industrial sources
- Air pollution from different power generation methods
- Chemistry and dispersion of air pollution in atmosphere
- Air pollution modelling approaches
- Impacts on the planet
- Indoor air pollution
