Subject outcome
Subject outcome 7.1: Identify and critically evaluate the impact of scientific knowledge on the atmosphere and the quality of human, environmental and socio-economic development
Learning outcomes
- Identify industrial gases (e.g. CO2, O2, H2, CH4, N2, NH3, acetylene): the chemical properties and uses.
- Identify examples of gases emitted by industries rated as hazardous (NO, NO2, SO2, H2S, etc.) and explain the reason for the gases status.
- Identify and describe air pollution and methods of prevention in industries and elsewhere.
Unit 1 outcomes
By the end of this unit you will be able to:
- Understand the chemical properties and uses of carbon dioxide, oxygen, hydrogen, methane, nitrogen, and acetylene.
Unit 2 outcomes
By the end of this unit you will be able to:
- Identify gases which are emitted by industry and explain why these gases are hazardous to human health.
- Describe and define air pollutants and methods of prevention.
