B. Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes

In this course the students will use the fundamental principle chemistry to
gain an understanding of the source, fate and reactivity of compounds in
natural and polluted environments, composition of atmosphere layers, water
sources and types and composition of land, sources of pollution for air ,
water soil Effect of pollution on plant, animal, human being , Methods to
eliminate or reduce the air pollutions Studying methods for production fresh
water Waste water treatment plant Methods to eliminate or reduce the soil
pollutions..

2. Course Main Objective

The aim of this course is explain and understand the fundamental Chemical
process that are involved in the environmental composition of air, water and

3
 land. Define and illustrate the chemical pollution occurs due to nature or human
being activity to air, water and land, and the scientific methods to reduce or
eliminate this pollution.
