Learning Outcomes

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

  • Critically analyze environmental issues in order to select appropriate sampling and analytical methods to quantitatively and qualitatively assess the magnitude of environmental contamination/pollution.
  • Demonstrate the use of sampling techniques and analytical methods to determine common pollutants in air, water, and wastewater following the standard procedures.
  • Discuss the theory and principles of operation of various instruments and sampling media used for collection and determination of gases, vapours, microbiologicals and particulates in the air.
  • Prepare sampling media for field sampling/testing.
  • Apply statistical tools and modeling applications to process, analyze and interpret data obtained in environmental sampling and analyses.
  • Prepare comprehensive field and laboratory reports with numerical and graphical representation of results, discussion, sources of errors in sampling procedures conclusions and recommendations.
