In this course, we will be discussing outdoor air quality. Additionally, we will compare and evaluate a significant amount of empirically evidenced epidemiological data to quantify specific pollutants of concern in our contemporary industrial societies. Some of the first steps of understanding how to engineer out air quality problems include a solid understanding of how air pollutants are generated, transported, and adversely impact humans and the environment. From a Systems-Thinking perspective, we will now begin to mentally align these independent variables of potential adverse impact (the dependent variable) into the air quality management system.

* When drafting your writing assignments, be diligent to write in the narrative, scholarly voice using proper APA style in your writing.

Instructions

Throughout the following six units, you will be developing a course project. You will complete a single section of the course project in every unit by completing one section of the course project, and then you will add to it with the subsequent work in the following unit. This unit work will be in the form of unit mini-projects.

Our course project will be to develop a document titled “A Permit by Rule (PBR) Evaluation for a Painting Operation” and will serve as a simulation of our work as a contract environmental engineer to an industrial organization planning a painting operation within the United States.
