Environment
A course by
Lincoln University
Gain knowledge of chemical, biological and physical processes that affect the behaviour of potentially hazardous substances in terrestrial, aquatic and atmospheric environments and understand the risks associated with environmental pollutants and how to mitigate them.
In-person study
Face-to-face learning in a physical classroom setting
Lincoln University Campus, Lincoln

Students will be able to analyse the criteria for determining whether a substance is potentially hazardous.

Students will identify common contaminants in soils, aquatic systems and the atmosphere, and understand their behaviour.

Students will apply numerical methods to describe contaminant movement in the environment.
This course provides knowledge of chemical, biological and physical processes that affect the behaviour of potentially hazardous substances in terrestrial, aquatic and atmospheric environments. Students will learn about the risks associated with environmental pollutants and methods to mitigate them. Note: This course is taught in even-numbered years only; students finishing studies in an odd-numbered year must take it in their 2nd year.
What you need to know first
Minimum of 90 credits including at least 15 credits from Chemistry IA (PHSC-101)
15 credits from Soil Science I (SOSC-106)
