Knowledge on chemical in the natural and anthropized atmosphere and the effect of human activity.

Knowledge and understanding
At the end of the course the student knows:
The main reactions of the compounds present in the atmosphere compartment, the radical reactions;
The chemical and physical quantities useful for assessing the concentrations of atmospheric micro-pollutants;
Processes of formation of tropospheric ozone
The formation processes and the chemical composition of PMx
The processes of transport and reactivity of chemical compounds in the atmosphere

Applied knowledge and understanding
At the end of the course the student is able to:
Calculate the life time and half-life of the compounds present in the atmosphere and predict their reactivity.
Determine tropospheric ozone concentrations
Determine the concentrations and sources of PMx

Autonomy of judgment
At the end of the course the student is able to:
Identifying which chemical compounds present in the atmosphere can have an impact on the environment and on humans.
Identify strategies for controlling air pollutants.
Examine the chemical and physical quantities useful for assessing the concentrations of atmospheric micro-pollutants
Define atmospheric transport processes.

Communication skills
Knowing how to expose the main chemical reactions of anthropogenic and natural compounds and transport processes in the atmosphere compartment in a clear and synthetic manner and with language properties.

Ability to learn
Knowing how to apply the acquired knowledge of atmospheric chemistry to determine the tropospheric ozone concentrations d of PMx. Understand the arguments present in the scientific literature of the chemistry of the atmosphere both past and present.
