Overview
Interested learners will be introduced to the field of air pollution science, identifying the current challenges in the field and key background knowledge in the provision of clean air for society and the environment. It explores the use of air pollution modelling to predict concentrations in various settings and to assess the impacts of policy changes, modern technology, or developments.
Why should I take this Micro-credential?
Air pollution represents a global health challenge and is directly contributing to climate change. It is present in both outdoor and indoor environments. To address air pollution effectively, we need to fully understand the complex mix of pollutants we must deal with.
This Air Pollution - Monitoring Assessment and Control - Micro-credential course at Trinity College Dublin provides a valuable insight into air pollutants, focusing on how we measure and assess the challenge at individual, local, national, and global levels. This course provides you with the skills to effectively monitor campaigns, perform informed assessment studies, and design or select appropriate control technologies and strategies to improve air quality.
Learning outcomes will include developing capacity to:
- Describe key concepts relating to air pollution science and its application to environmental engineering.
- Assess, apply, and evaluate differing forms of air pollution models for the prediction of concentrations in the atmosphere.
- Appraise differing approaches to the control of air pollution for indoor and outdoor settings and in urban and industrial settings.
- Discuss the development and application of national emissions inventories and projections.
- Measure air pollution concentrations in practice to identify the advantages and limitations of differing monitoring approaches.
- Critically assess an environmental impact assessment of new infrastructure developments from an air pollution perspective.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- This micro-credential deals with the development of environmental impact assessment in relation to air pollution in infrastructure developments, using several case studies (e.g., incineration, construction projects, roads, etc).
- We will examine the development of national emissions inventories and the projection of pollution into the future using forecasting techniques.
- We will appraise the physical measurement of air pollutants using field equipment.
