SQC7014 Environmental Chemical Analysis

Interest in the environment continues to expand and develop. It is now very much part of our
everyday lives. As a consequence, the need for chemical analysis of the environment continues to
grow. This course gives an overview on the following topics:

 Environment and pollution, and the Transport of pollutants in the environment
and approaches to their analysis
 Water analysis - Major parameters (pH, electrical conductivity, TOC, BOD, COD,
DO, turbidity, total solid, alkalinity, hardness and etc)
 Trace pollutants (radionuclide, organic and inorganic)
 Analysis of land, solids and waste (common problem areas and considerations
for analysis in sediments, soils, sewage sludge, plant and animal specimens)
 Atmospheric analysis (Gases and particulates)
