Course objectives
Students will be familiar with the resources and the transfer of air pollutants, depending on weather conditions, the physical properties of the atmosphere, essential chemical reactions in the atmosphere, modeling of dry and wet atmospheric deposition, using lagrangian and Eulerian models, the effects of air pollution on human health, ecosystems and materials and methods of protection of the atmosphere and air.
Syllabus
  • Basic information about the atmosphere and its pollution. Composition and vertical structure of the atmosphere. Natural and anthropogenic sources of air pollutants and their transfer in the atmosphere, depending on weather conditions. Sources, physical and chemical properties of atmospheric aerosol particle size, coagulation, deposition, the role of aerosols in atmospheric physics.
    Air pollution. Physical, chemical and biological factors that affect air quality. Characteristics of air pollutants. The basic chemical reactions in the atmosphere.
    Atmospheric deposition. Physical, meteorological and chemical processes leading to atmospheric deposition. Deposition processes (wet and dry deposition). Atmospheric deposition in local and regional scale. Atmospheric deposition in the Czech Republic.
    Modelling of pollutants in the air. Mathematical models of air pollution. Lagrangian and Eulerian models. Resistance models for modeling of the deposition flux of air pollutants. Measurements of the deposition flux of air pollutants by gradient and eddy covariance method.
    Air quality assessment. The role of monitoring the air quality management. Air pollution monitoring and monitoring network. The limits of air pollution (emissions, air pollution, deposition limits).
    The effects of air pollution. The effects of air pollutants on human health, ecosystems and materials.
    Protection of atmosphere and air. Origin emissions. Separation of dust and gases. Legal protection of the atmosphere and climate. Main activities and international conventions on the protection of the atmosphere and climate.
