Errata sheet for the textbook Graduate School Listing: ENVR 116 Aerosol Technology (4). Prerequisite, admission to the Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering, or permission of the instructor. Physical and chemical principles underlying behavior of particles suspended in air. Rectilinear and curvilinear motion of particles in a force field, diffusion, evaporation, and condensation, electrical and optical properties and particle coagulation. Three lecture hours a week, with several laboratory assignments. Fall. The objective of this course is to discuss aerosols, and their relationship to problems in environmental engineering, air pollution control, atmospheric chemistry and industrial hygiene. The course requires knowledge of calculus and college-level physics. At the left is a list of links that are relevant to this course. Note particularly the links to quizzes and exams given in previous years. If you have questions of any kind regarding the course or its contents, please raise them in class, send an e-mail, call, or come in to see Professor Leith at any time. *Notes*: Until fall 2001, this course was listed as ENVR 145 Until fall 2004, this course was titled "Introduction to Aerosol Science"
