Course Syllabus
Welcome to Atmospheric Chemistry KEM170 HT22!
Chemistry happens everywhere, even in the air you breathe. Chemical reaction is the main route to remove gaseous air pollutants from the atmosphere, both for natural and man-made substances. This course gives you a deep understanding of the chemistry that takes place in the atmosphere and an explanation of the resulting effects on the environment.
We are hoping for intensive, productive and interactive weeks ahead and are looking forward to working with you within this course!
