Course/Module description:
The course will cover basic concepts in chemistry and environmental chemistry. It will be divided into two parts: in the first part we will learn and understand the main processes contaminants undergo in the environment, and in the second part, we will get to know different contaminants (organic and inorganic), their main routes to enter the environment, distribution, physicochemical properties, and their impact on human health
Course/Module aims:
Understanding the main processes pollutants undergo in the environment based on their physicochemical properties, as well as getting to know main contaminants
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
Based on the information provided in the course, students will be able to assess the various processes that pollutants undergo in the environment, based on their properties and the relevant environmental conditions (water, soil, air).
