Course objectives: This
course aims to investigate the fundamental concepts leading to the
understanding of what happens to a pollutant once it is released into the
environment. Here, knowledge required for environmental engineers to
effectively assess pollution, evaluate control and remediation strategies will
be provided.

description: Fundamental
concepts regarding the fate of a pollutant once released into the environment.
Classification of pollutants, equilibrium partitioning between gaseous, liquid
and solid phases: vapor pressure, solubility in water, air-organic solvent,
air-water partitioning, organic liquid-water partitioning, sorption,
solid-water distribution, partitioning to living media. Abiotic and biotic
transformation processes: hydrolysis, redox and photochemical reactions,
biodegradation. Transport of pollutants and modeling concepts. Case
studies.
