Chemistry (12) In order to support growing student interest in environmental analysis and to improve environmental chemistry education and undergraduate research, we are modifying several courses to include analytical tools important in environmental assessment. We have identified Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Ion Chromatography (IC) as the targeted methods. These instruments enable implementation of experiments in Environmental Chemistry, Soil Science, and Lab Methods II courses involving sampling, identification, and quantification of specific pollutants. We also are introducing a laboratory experience to study photochemical smog through use of a NO-NO2-NOX analyzer. Similar experiments in NO complexes and ozone chemistry are adapted from the University of Alaska and Universitat Bayreuth in Germany. Many chemistry students performing required undergraduate research projects are involved in projects doing long-term monitoring of local ecosystems with students from multiple disciplines. Enhancing separation capabilities to include GC/MS and IC is expanding environmental research opportunities for students and faculty. Availability of a NO-NO2-NOX detector is allowing students to be involved in smog research, collaborating with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.

化学（12）为了支持学生对环境分析日益增长的兴趣，并提高环境化学教育和本科研究，我们正在修改几门课程，包括环境评估中重要的分析工具。我们已经确定气相色谱/质谱法（GC-MS）和离子色谱法（IC）作为目标方法。这些仪器使环境化学，土壤科学和实验室方法II课程实验的实施，涉及特定污染物的采样，鉴定和定量。此外，我们亦正引进一项实验室经验，利用NO-NO2-NOX分析仪研究光化学烟雾。类似的NO复合物和臭氧化学实验改编自阿拉斯加大学和德国的拜罗伊特大学。许多化学专业的学生进行所需的本科研究项目参与项目做长期监测当地生态系统与来自多个学科的学生。增强包括GC/MS和IC在内的分离能力正在扩大学生和教师的环境研究机会。NO-NO2-NOX探测器的可用性允许学生参与烟雾研究，与新泽西环境保护部合作。
