Module 5: Introduction to Environmental and Analytical Chemi
About
This Module will take you on a journey through the basics of environmental chemistry, the classes, sources and origins of contaminants, natural occurrence, impacts of contaminants on the environment and effects of the environment on contaminants. Also, the application of how simple chemistry principles can affect the environmental behaviour of a chemical in a natural environment.This course will also cover the role of laboratories in site contamination work, what labs can (and can't) do, what NATA accreditation means, analytical uncertainty and QA/QC, what 'the numbers' mean and how to manage your samples for best outcomes.
The course will be split up into two main focus areas:
Module 5A session will be presented by Alan Bull and focus on the basic concepts of chemistry and environmental chemistry.
Module 5B session will be presented by Brent Davey and will run after the lunchtime break in the afternoon and will focus on understanding how laboratories work, what laboratory and QA/QC
