Chemicals in the Environment: Fate and Transport
環境污染物宿命與遷移

3 units

課程大綱：
This course is designed for MS students who are interested in the behavior of chemicals (pollutants) in the environment. This course will focus on the physical transport of chemicals through water, air and soil (phase interaction) as well as the chemical and biological sources and sinks of the pollutants.
