Aim: The course is primarily made for mechanical engineering students who are interested in the application of more advanced methods to characterize air pollution from different sources. It is the aim of the course that the students obtain the necessary theoretical and practical background in order to be able to apply the methods in their master project and future work as engineers.

Contents: Methods for separation, detection and quantification of polluting components of exhaust. Measurements of both gaseous and particulate bound pollutants. The following separation methods are included in the course: gas and liquid chromatography and open column chromatography. The following detection principles are included: infra red, UV, flourenscence, flame ionization and chemiluminescence. Special emphasize will be put into analyzing carcinogenic components in the exhaust. Some introduction lectures in physical and organic chemistry are given in order ensure that the students have the necessary theoretical background.
