IS4102 Environmental Safety Syllabus:
IS4102 Environmental Safety Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021
OBJECTIVES:
To provide in depth knowledge in Principles of Environmental safety and its applications in various fields.
To give understanding of air and water pollution and their control.
To expose the students to the basis in hazardous waste management.
To design emission measurement devices.
UNIT I AIR POLLUTION
Classification and properties of air pollutants – Pollution sources – Effects of air pollutants on human beings, Animals, Plants and Materials – automobile pollution-hazards of air pollution-concept of clean coal combustion technology – ultra violet radiation, infrared radiation, radiation from sun-hazards due to depletion of ozone – deforestation-ozone holes-automobile exhausts-chemical factory stack emissions-CFC.
UNIT II WATER POLLUTION
Classification of water pollutants-health hazards-sampling and analysis of water-water treatment – different industrial effluents and their treatment and disposal -advanced wastewater treatment – effluent quality standards and laws- chemical industries, tannery, textile effluents-common treatment.
UNIT III HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
Hazardous waste management in India-waste identification, characterization and classification technological options for collection, treatment and disposal of hazardous waste-selection charts for the treatment of different hazardous wastes-methods of collection and disposal of solid wastes-health hazards-toxic and radioactive wastes-incineration and verification – hazards due to bio-process dilution-standards and restrictions – recycling and reuse.
UNIT IV ENVIRONMENTAL MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL
Sampling and analysis – dust monitor – gas analyzer, particle size analyzer – lux meter-pH meter – gas chromatograph – atomic absorption spectrometer.
Gravitational settling chambers-cyclone separators-scrubbers-electrostatic precipitator – bag filter – maintenance – control of gaseous emission by adsorption, absorption and combustion methods Pollution Control Board-laws.
UNIT V POLLUTION CONTROL IN PROCESS INDUSTRIES
Pollution control in process industries – cement, paper, petroleum-petroleum products-textile tanneries-thermal power plants – dying and pigment industries – eco-friendly energy.
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
OUTCOMES:
The students will be able to
Illustrate and familiarize the basic concepts scope of environmental safety.
Understand the standards of professional conduct that are published by professional safety organizations and/or certification bodies.
Explain the ways in which environmental health problems have arisen due to air and water pollution.
Illustrate the role of hazardous waste management and use of critical thinking to identify and assess environmental health risks.
Discuss concepts of measurement of emissions and design emission measurement devices.
