Outline and Purpose of the Course	In order to solve atmospheric environmental issues associated with human activities, especially energy-related ones from local to global level, science-based policy and action are required. This course aims to provide basic knowledge to take a proper response to atmospheric environmental problems in terms of the scientific principles, concepts, and countermeaures.
Course Goals	The goal of this class is to understand the current situation of atmospheric environmental issues, their physical/chemical mechanisms and control technologies. You will be able to acquire the basic knowledge to solve atmospheric environmental problems.
Schedule and Contents	1. Guidance (1 class)：Objective and overview of the lecture, grade evaluation, relationship between energy and the environment, etc. 2. Atmospheric physics (1 class) - Atmospheric structure and stability，fundamentals of radiation theory, atmospheric diffusion theory 3. Aerosol science and technology (2 classes)：What is aerosol?, physical and chemical properties of aerosols, aerosol dynamics, aerosol measurements, health effects 4. Atmospheric chemistry (2 classes) - Homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions in the atmosphere, secondary particle formation 5. Regional air pollution (3 classes)：Ambient air quality standard, current situation of air quality (gaseous and particulate matters)、emission inventories of air pollutants, air pollution control technologies, air pollution modeling and simulation　 6. Global environmental issues (5 classes)： (i) Ozone depletion (1 class) - Formation of ozone layer, ozone depletion mechanism, ozone hole (ii) Climate change (1 class) - Science of global warming, focusing on the effect of aerosols (iii) Acid rain (1 class) - Formation of acidic precursors relevant to fossil fuels combustion, formation mechanism of acid rain, international efforts reactions in the atmsophere, secondary particle formation (iv) Local air pollution in Asia (1 class) - Current situation of air pollution in Asia (v) Transboundary air pollution (1 class) - Transboundary movement of air pollutants, transformation of air pollutants during transport 7. Feedback (1 class)
