Výstupy z učení

Aim of the course is to give students insight into pathological effects of environmental contaminants (pesticides, pharmaceuticals, nanoparticles, organic chemicals, cyanides, alge toxins etc.) and ecological safety of these compounds. The course i) covers problems of functional changes in cells, tissues, and organs when exposed to contaminants in concentrations causing lethal and/or chronic toxicity, ii) looks at fishes to be model organisms and iii) describes the application of fish in toxicity tests specific to OECD guidelines.
The practical part will concern necropsy techniques, haematological methods and the determination and quantification of histopathological changes and cytological changes on ultrastructure level. The standardized evaluation of the histopathological changes will be practised by the determination of the tissue-specific damage index (liver, gill, skin, kidney and heart). The standardized documentation and measurement of the pathological lesion will be trained. Furthermore, the determination of teratogenic changes in fishes during their ontogenesis will be taught.
