EVE 489/589 Toxicology (Spring 2020)

An introduction to toxicology principles, systemic toxicity, and toxicology practice in view of the public health and environmental engineering frameworks.

EVE 491 Special Topics: Air Quality Measurements in Urban Tanzania (Summer 2003; COURSE CANCELLED DUE TO CONFLICT IN IRAQ)
As part of the proposed 2003 Study Abroad Program in Tanzania, a supervised, research field project will be offered for a limited number of environmental engineering students. The associated course (EVE 491, Air Quality Measurements in Urban Tanzania, 3 hrs) will consist of three related experiments. In one experiment, students will collect integrated, 24-h samples of PM_2.5 organic carbon (OC) over a 3-week period at an urban site in Dar Es Salaam using a particle composition monitor (PCM) designed and built by Mercer engineering students. In the second experiment, OC samples will be collected every two hours for 2-3 days to estimate a diurnal pattern for the pollutant. The third experiment will focus on ozone (O₃) and will utilize passive measurement techniques to gain insight on the spatial distribution of the pollutant at various locations within the city.
