Teaching

Since 1996 Peter has been teaching the stack monitoring portion of the ENVR 605 air monitoring course at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. The course is part of a 6th semester Environmental Technology course dealing with various methods of air monitoring. The stack monitoring portion of the course involves lectures in the theory of stack sampling for particulate and review of detailed calculations to perform an actual Method 5 test. The students are also required to perform a lab following the techniques outlined in Methods 1 – 5 of the Ontario Source Testing Code. He has also taught customized courses to government and industrial personnel.
