Principles of Air Pollution and Control (Online)
5 hours · $94.95
Description
What are the causes of air pollution and how can the professional engineer mitigate these causes? Anything people do that involves burning things (combustion), using household or industrial chemicals (substances that cause chemical reactions and may release toxic gases in the process), or producing large amounts of dust has the potential to cause air pollution. This PDH Engineering course provides a detailed review of the causes, sources, and controls of air pollution.
