The basic physicochemical properties of water will be examined along with principal pollutants. A brief introduction to water purification treatments along with the analytical methods employed to monitor these processes will be included. Case studies of specific pollutants and their health consequences will be considered, especially with respect to marginalized populations. The course instruction will take the form of in-class lectures and assigned home works.
