課程概述

化石燃料（煤、石油和天然氣）產生全球變暖的二氧化碳（CO2）排放，還有一些空氣污染物，如氮氧化物、二氧化硫、揮發性有機化合物等。化石燃料燃燒也是酸雨的形成和酸雨是環境污染最為惡性的因素之一，主要是水污染。綠色能源來自天然來源，如陽光、風、雨、潮汐、植物、藻類和地熱。這些能源資源是可再生的，這意味著它們將自然而然地得到補充。與化石燃料相比，可再生能源對環境的影響要小得多，本課程介紹可再生能源的基礎知識，依氣體、液體、固體、噪音、輻射等各種不同污染源，分別探討解決空氣、水質、土壤、噪音以及熱污染之防治方法。

Green energy comes from natural sources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, plants, algae and geothermal heat. These energy resources are renewable, meaning they're naturally replenished constantly. Renewable energy sources also have a much smaller impact on the environment than fossil fuels, which produce pollutants such as greenhouse gases as a by-product, contributing to climate change. This course will introduce water and air pollution control, recycling, hazardous wastes, waste disposal, and public health issues as well as knowledge of environmental legislation, and global atmospheric change. It also includes studies on the environmental impact of proposed construction projects. Besides, the course conduct hazardous-waste management studies to evaluate the significance of such hazards, advise on treatment and containment, and develop regulations to prevent mishaps. needs.

授課內容

授課內容主要從綠色能源的種類開始介紹，綠色能源包含太陽能、風能、生質能、以及水力能等；並且針對傳統能源對於環境的影響，如空氣、水、土壤等逐一進行說明，除了傳統能源的影響外，並且針對綠色能源部分比較對環境影響的差異，最後從汙染防治以及地球永續的觀點探討綠色能源的使用所帶來的優點。
