Course Description

Tackling the pollution we produce as well as mitigating its effects has become a vital, global mission. On this module, students will learn about different types of pollution and how to identify the various sources. The course will provide a basic grounding in biology and chemistry so students can develop a greater understanding of how to monitor pollution production. It will also focus on why we need to monitor pollution, what technologies are currently used and how we can analyse the data collected to tackle and prevent pollution events in the future. 

Pollution Monitoring can be studied as a stand-alone course and is an optional module for the Diploma in Field and Conservation Ecology at Aberystwyth University.
