CVEEN 6640 - Environmental Laboratory Analysis

Meets with CVEEN 5640. This course presents fundamental principles and practical applications of modern environmental laboratory analysis with respect to atomic spectroscopy (AA), molecular spectroscopy (UV), gas chromatography (GC), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). This course will emphasize techniques in trace (low concentration) analysis. Lectures and text readings cover basic concepts of environmental analysis and the fundamental analytical principles. The laboratory sessions will utilize modern analytical equipment; students will be required to perform experiments with each instrument.
