Course Description The course provides a broad survey of outdoor air pollution from a human health perspective. Lectures, readings, and homework assignments cover the natural atmosphere, air pollution sources, transport and dispersion, chemical reactions and transformation, and concentration trends. We then review human health impacts, with an emphasis on the interpretation of epidemiology studies documenting associations between population health and air pollution concentrations over space and time. Additional topics include exposure assessment and indoor air quality, global air quality trends, and policy approaches to air pollution control. |
