Organisation and examination
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
This course presents the main techniques for sampling and measuring gaseous pollutants. The notions of atmospheric chemistry seen in the Master 1 courses are deepened.
- Sampling techniques and determination of the pollutant flow rate (stack sampling, flow chamber sampling,...)
- Principles of measurement
-Principles of operation (chemical sensors, spectroscopy, chromatography)
-Presentation of the instrumentation - Atmospheric chemistry
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The student will be able to understand the air pollution problematic, the operating procedure of instruments, to select the measurement technique in regards to the various variables of the problematic and to discuss the results in the context of environmental regulation
At the end of the course, the student will be able 1) to show his understanding of the theoretical concepts seen in the course; 2) to develop a methodology to perform measurments 3) to explain-interpret the measurement results
