Summary

The subject focuses on all the aspects of nanomaterial production and application impacting the environment. Characteristics of the nanomaterials problematic in terms of their presence in the environment are introduced, and the ways of their leaking to water, soil and air, as well as their life cycle and specifics of their presence the main ecospheres, are discussed. Students are introduced to the methods of monitoring of the engineered nanoparticle presence in the environment, possibilities of assessments of their toxicity and risks they pose to the particular groups of organisms as well as human health. Attention is given to the prevention of the nanomaterial pollution, removal of this pollution and environmental technology applications of the nanomaterials.
