Osnova předmětu

The determination of pollution in environment (determination of geochemical background, mobility of pollutants – causes and impacts.
Heavy metals in environment (importance and ecotoxicity).
Organic pollutants (main groups, the basic properties, coefficient KOW, KOC, the determination of biodegradability in anaerobic and aerobic environment).
The mobile analytical methods for determination of pollutants in environment (water, soil and air pollution).
The methodology for sampling of soils, water and wastes.
