Adv Environmental Chem Lab

Prerequisite: CHEM 290 with a minimum grade of "C-"; or CHEM 489 with a minimum grade of "C-", which may be taken concurrently This laboratory course will introduce students to basic and advanced techniques employed in environmental chemical analysis. The laboratory experiments are designed to emphasize sampling, sample processing techniques such as extraction and wet chemical methods, and modern instrumental techniques commonly employed in the analysis of air, water and soil/sediment samples. Students will also interpret chemical data and develop scientific writing skills. Offered spring semester, even years.
