Students learn how to evaluate and manage whether pollutants, especially fine dust, may have harmful health effects on the human body at concentrations in the environment.

Study for understanding the correlation between PM exposure and various pathological evaluation

Various research topics are presented and discussed by students, professors and external lecturers.

In this class, aerosols are collected and their chemical compositions are analyzed using various instruments including IC, GC-MS, HPLC, OC/EC analyzer.

Students learn how to study how much harmful substances present in the environment will enter (expose) and affect the human body through exposure routes. While reviewing some related research papers, the relevant contents will be acquired through case studies.

Approximately more than 50% of fine aerosols are secondarily formed in atmosphere. This class investigates the theoretical secondary formation mechanisms and review the recent journal articles with active discussion.

In this class, students learn and review the recent trends in fine aerosol research. During the semester, students write and submit their own articles to academic journals.

Indoor air quality is getting worse due to increased lifetime indoors and tightened air leakage for energy saving. In this class, indoor environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, particulate matters and gaseous air contaminants are studied for training to maintain comfortable indoor air quality.
