About
This comprehensive course is designed for professionals and individuals seeking to master the principles and practices of air quality management without the need for a traditional classroom setting. The ultimate goal of this training is to equip you with the knowledge to manage air pollution effectively, ensuring that concentrations do not exceed defined target levels and that both human health and the environment are protected.
You will learn about the history and background of air quality engineering, the nature of various pollutants, and the different methods used to calculate their emissions. The course also covers Air Pollution Control (APC) technologies, factors that affect pollutant concentrations at ground level, potential health impacts, and the regulations designed to manage air emissions. We will demystify the specialized language, terminology, and approaches of this critical field, providing you with a solid foundation to make informed engineering decisions.
