The course aims at providing an understanding of advanced environmental measurement techniques for air quality applications, and how these techniques can be used to provide a basis for estimates of the impact of various human activities on the environment and human health. The course also aims at stimulating the doctoral students to reflect on how our every day human activities may affect the environment and human health, and at acquiring a capability to assess and discuss environmental issues within the working life and societal debate from a natural science perspective.

Presentation of different air quality issues and their effects on the environment and health. Going through various measurement scenarios. Multiphase processes in air pollution studies. Physical and chemical processes associated with air pollution. Measurement and analytical methods based on physical and chemical characterization of air pollutants. The course contains lectures, laboratory work, and a project work (group size 2-4 students). The teachers are picked from various scientific disciplines and they have a strong scientific base. The project work includes an evaluation of environmental data presented orally and with a written report. It aims at answering the state of the environment of an authentic issue that the teachers are faced with. The laboratory work and demonstration part is an opportunity for the doctoral students to work with high-tech research instruments, or have it demonstrated.
Copied material from the participating divisions and departments compiled.
Undervisningsformer: Föreläsningar, laborationer, projekt, studiebesök
Examinationsformer: Skriftlig tentamen, skriftlig rapport, seminarieföredrag av deltagarna.
The examination consists of two parts, one written exam in which the student individually answers questions, mostly of a descriptive character, and a project work in a small group. To pass, the student must also take active part in the compulsory laboratory exercises, and have the written laboratory reports approved.
