ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT (ENVM)

3023 Introduction to Environmental Management

An overview of the national problem of managing hazardous waste materials with regard to environmental protection. Introduces the learner to regulations, risk assessment, waste generators, storage, and information disclosure systems. Career opportunities and educational requirements will be explored.

3033 Environmental Regulatory Compliance

An in-depth study of the various federal and state laws concerning the handling, storage, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials. Includes elements of a successful auditing program, conducting an audit, and report writing.

3043 Environmental Contaminants

Sources, significance and fates of organic and inorganic contaminants found in the terrestrial, atmospheric and subsurface environments.

3053 Hazardous Waste Management

Presents a philosophical basis for corporate compliance, including strategies for the development of an environmental management program. Labeling, transportation and applicable standards including management practices in reducing waste generation, recycling and reclamation will be examined.

4023 Industrial Waste Treatment

Biological, chemical and physical treatment alternatives for hazardous and nonhazardous liquid waste streams produced by industrial processes. Prerequisites: ENVM 3023 and CHEM 1123.

4033 Environmental Chemistry #

General chemical principles, including equilibrium, kinetics, organic and inorganic compounds, thermodynamics, homogeneous and heterogeneous solutions, atmospheric and soil chemistry, and acid-based and oxidation-reduction reactions, applied to environmental management. Prerequisite: CHEM 1123.

4043 Industrial Air Pollution Control

A review of indoor and outdoor air pollutants produced by industrial processes. Special emphasis on management and technical options used to minimize production of contaminants. Industrial reporting and monitoring requirements to satisfy the Clean Air Act.

4053 Environmental Toxicology

An overview of the origins of toxicology and regulation of chemicals based upon experimental and analytical methodology. The toxicity of chemicals, their no-effect levels and thresholds, margins of safety, and bioaccumulation are studied. The effects of chemicals and how health problems are traced to environmental causes will also be reviewed. Prerequisite ENVM 3023 or permission of instructor.
