|
- understand the processes affecting the fate of organic contaminants in the environment, the risks involved - learn a basic and comprehensive overview of the most important organic pollutants, their chemical properties, potential risks and occurrence in the environment
Students understand the main processes affecting the environmental fate and risk of organic contaminants, general aspect of dispersion, toxicity and degradation. Students have knowledge about production, use and discharge of man-made substances with harmful effects. Students have information about representative organic pollutants with respect to their chemical properties, their specific risk potentials and their appearance in the environment. Legislation and information systems.
