The current concern for the environment and the necessary consideration that any activity causes alterations in it, is being translated into an inclusion of subjects of environmental themes in the curricula of University degrees and Masters, especially in science. The study of environmental problems caused by human activity has a multidisciplinary nature given the interrelation between the phenomena of air pollution, water, and those derived from the improper management of waste. The purpose of this subject is to focus on the problem of air pollution and get the student to acquire a correct idea of why air pollution problems, the factors that influence them, the way to quantify them, the way to minimize them and the consequences that will result when opting for certain solutions. Although in the degree of Chemistry of this university there is an optional subject Chemistry and Atmospheric Pollution, in this Master subject, although an introduction to Atmospheric Chemistry and pollution is made, the knowledge is expanded in the following points: study of the dispersion of pollutants, sampling and analysis methods, other detection techniques, environmental regulations and processes to minimize pollution. Therefore, the training acquired by the student will enable him to develop professional activities in environmental quality laboratories or pollution control.
