Fossil fuels such as coal and oil have played an important role in human civilization and the industrial revolution. However, the excessive consumption of fossil fuels in the last century has caused adverse health and environmental effects, from aggravated asthma to devastating acid rain. In this webinar, we will discuss the pros and cons of using fossil fuels, air pollutants from burning fossil fuels, and alarming phenomena such as smog, ozone depletion, and acid rain. We will also examine the alternative, renewable energy sources that are available to replace fossil fuels.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials. All quiz questions are reviewed during the webinar.
Note to Webinar Attendees:
Our live webinars (web seminars) are considered as "Courses of Learning" (live courses) by the New York State Board for Engineering and Land Surveying and as "Timed & Monitored Courses" by the Ohio State Board for Professional Engineers and Surveyors. Unlike the traditional seminars held in a classroom setting, our webinars deliver live instruction to your home or office. You will be able to interact directly with our instructor during a webinar through audio channel or chat box. However, you must attend the webinar at a scheduled date and time. We will verify your attendance through our online webinar platform. The certificate of completion will not be issued unless you attend the webinar and pass a quiz (all quiz questions will be reviewed during the webinar). Thank you for your cooperation.
