Environmental Pollution

This course provides an in-depth understanding of the sources, types, and effects of environmental pollution on ecosystems and human health. The course covers key topics such as air, water, and soil pollution, the impact of industrial and agricultural activities, and the role of pollution control technologies. Students will explore the scientific principles behind pollutant behavior, environmental monitoring, and regulatory frameworks aimed at controlling pollution. The course emphasizes sustainable practices and the importance of pollution prevention in protecting the environment and public health.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Understanding the Types and Sources of Pollution: Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the different types of pollution (air, water, soil, and noise), their sources (industrial, agricultural, urban), and their impact on the environment and human health.
• Exploring Pollution Control Technologies: Learn about the technologies and strategies used to monitor, control, and mitigate pollution, including filtration, chemical treatment, bioremediation, and emissions control.
• Analyzing the Effects of Pollutants on Ecosystems and Human Health: Gain insights into the pathways by which pollutants enter the environment, how they affect ecosystems and biodiversity, and their direct and indirect effects on human health.
• Applying Environmental Regulations and Sustainability Practices: Develop skills in applying national and international environmental regulations and standards (such as the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act), as well as strategies for pollution prevention and sustainable development.

These outcomes aim to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to understand, assess, and manage environmental pollution effectively. The course prepares students for careers in environmental management, pollution control, public health, and sustainability by providing practical tools to address pollution-related challenges.
