Course description
The aims of this lecture is understanding the origin and the scientific mechanisms for the several atmospheric environmental issues (photochemical oxidants, PM2.5, ozone layer depletion, climate change) based on the chemical, physical and geophysical knowledges. In addition, the fundamental chemical reaction kinetics and molecular spectroscopy will be lectured.
Expected Learning
(1)Understanding the origin and the scientific mechanism for the several atmospheric environmental issues.
(2)Understanding the fundamental chemical and physical knowledge to explain the mechanism for the atmospheric environmental issues.
