Objective
You understand what atmosphere is and how it works. You understand weather and are able to link it to the transport of air pollutants. You are familiar with the most problematic air pollutant groups and know the main environmental problems caused by them. You understand the importance of air protection and the policy and technology behind air protection. You are able to produce simple data on air pollutants and understand what kind of uncertainties there are behind the measurements. You are able to use modeling tools to predict the concentration of air pollutants and their movement
