PMO 605 Analytical Instrumentation Methodologies in Environmental Health
Students will examine the major instrumental methodologies used in the quantitative and qualitative analysis of samples taken during environmental health risk assessment or environmental health surveillance procedures. Methods examined will include gas chromatography mass spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma spectrometry, ion mobility spectrometry, and liquid chromatography. For each methodology the student will learn the scientific basis, equipment set-up and procedures, limitations, interferences, calibration, and sample preparation. The course is conducted through lectures, demonstrations and laboratory exercises. The course grade is based on two examinations and course participation.
