| Objectives of the Course |
| The main objectives of the Atmospheric Chemistry course are; It is a visual and theoretical teaching of the atmospheric layers surrounding the Earth and their physical, chemical and biological properties. It also explains the effects of the pollutants in these layers on living health and the ecological environment by associating them with air pollution. |
| Name of Lecturer(s) |
| Dr. Öğretim Üyesi Cihan PALOLUOĞLU |
| Learning Outcomes |
| 1 | Atmospheric chemistry, giving information about gas and particle phase pollutants in the atmosphere, detailing the atmospheric layers surrounding the Earth and their physical, chemical and biological properties. Also to indicate their interactions with the living and non-living environment. Thus, the physical, chemical and biological importance of all layers of the Atmosphere surrounding our Earth is understood. At the same time, the interactions of the atmosphere with the living and non-living environment and its harmful or beneficial parts are also learned. |

| Recommended Optional Programme Components |
| Thanks to this course, basic information will be provided about the importance and characteristics of the atmospheric layers on the earth, with the topics to be presented both visually and theoretically. In addition, information will be given about air pollution, its pollutants and their effects, which are environmental problems among atmospheric phenomena. |
