Course Overview

‘Environmental Science’ is a field of study that plays an active role in solving environmental issues/problems in terms of science. In these studies, the target environmental conditions will be understood physically, biologically and chemically with appropriate preciseness and accuracy. Through lectures, students can learn analytical chemistry with application to environmental science. The course addresses the sampling of environmental materials, sample preparation, and subsequent chemical analyses using conventional/ advanced methods.

Learning Achievement

At the end of the course, students are expected to understand the basic sampling methods of environmental materials and chemical analytical techniques of environmental samples. Students are also expected to evaluate the quality of data-set obtained from their analyses. It means that students can apply the knowledge and methods to their researches somehow.
