Air pollution is a very serious problem. While most courses target outdoor air pollution, this course will focus on Indoor Air Pollution, a very important current topic. Course will cover the types of indoor air pollutants, sources of these pollutants, their effects, measures for control, and indoor air quality modeling.

Intended audience: Students (PG and senior UG).Working professionals in field of environmental engineering and air pollution, and its control.Junior scientists and engineers of pollution control boards.Non-engineering background executives of private industries dealing with air pollution and its control.Non-engineering background executives from governmental agencies such as pollution control boards and other state/national bodies, those who are dealing with or are interested in air pollution and its control.Senior level scientistsRegulators and policy makers from ministry and other professional and governmental bodies.

Prerequisites: Basic physics, chemistry, mathematics (class 10 to 12 level)
