Remote and in-person students’ lab on photochemical degradation of micropollutants

Sarah Partanen and Rachele Ossola, in collaboration with Jeff Buth (University of Mount Union), Doug Latch (Seattle University), and Bill Arnold (University of Minnesota), published an article describing a versatile laboratory experiment on the photodegradation of micropollutants. The experiment consists of several individual modules that can be performed independently or combined to meet the learning objectives of general, analytical, physical, and environmental chemistry courses and school outreach events. Material is provided to perform the lab both as an in-person or a remote learning investigation. In the past four years, a version of this lab has been offered in the “Practical Course in Biogeochemistry”, an elective for 3rd year Environmental Sciences bachelor students.
