ENVR 2104 : Environmental Pollution and Control

Healthy ecosystems rely on interactions between the living portions of the environment and its non-living components. However, anthropogenic activities can cause significant disturbance resulting from the accidental or deliberate introduction of pollutants into the environment. These disturbances can cause significant alterations in the interactions between the various components that make up the ecosystem. The main focus would be on the effects of these pollutants and how they can be assessed using physicochemical and biological endpoints.
