Programs of Nature Discovery and Service-Learning for Adults

Environmental Chemistry with Dr. Marilyn Hurst

Environmental chemistry is the study of the behavior of pollutants with respect to their environmental fates and their effects of their environment. This presentation will describe some of the pollutants in both Earth’s atmosphere and water and discuss their origins, effects, and abatement. Specific topics covered are photochemical smog, acid rain, ozone depleting chemicals, and water pollutants. We will talk about a few of the chemical tests which can be done on soil and water samples to measure the presence of pollutants and participants will do some hands on testing of both soil and water
