This course will give the students an engineering perspective on agricultural air quality. Specifically, it will prepare students to identify agricultural air pollutants and their sources, understand the on-farm and off-farm impacts of these pollutants, measure these pollutants, characterize and model the fate of these pollutants, and select and/or design cost-effective remediation measures.
At the end of this course, the students should be able to:
- Identify agricultural air pollutants and describe their on-farm and off-farm impacts.
- Describe and model the fate and transport of these pollutants
- Select and use suitable instruments for measurement of air pollutants.
- Select suitable methods and technologies to reduce pollutant concentrations and emissions.
The course is organized into modules as shown below:
- Pollutants of interest, their sources, and their impacts
- Air quality regulations (short)
- Meteorological factors affecting air pollution
- Measurement of pollutants
- Fate and transport of pollutants
- Pollution remediation measures
- Dispersion modeling
