Components of air pollution. The emitting source. Atmospheric transport and dispersal. The reception; passive, active and real-time air quality monitoring. Investigation of the nature of particulates, where and how they occur in the atmosphere. Develop a quantitative model to describe the cycling of carbon among the hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, and biosphere. Use a computational representation to illustrate the relationships among Earth systems and how those relationships are being modified due to human activity. Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment, etc. Use extension activities such as videos and documentaries to provide a clear and entertaining explanation of how greenhouse gases work, heat-trapping abilities of CO2, and real-time air quality measurements among others.
