| Summary |
|---|
| The subject deals with issues of air protection against unfavourable effects of industrial activity. Influences of individual harmful substances and also consequences of specific industrial technologies and existing possibilities and methods of their elimination are assessed. Attention is paid above all to possibilities of implementation of new technologies, separators, chemical treatment of exhaust gases and supplementary processes. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| Main target of subject is offering fundamental information about air (atmosphere) protection. The subject also contains an overview of equipment and techniques used for air protection and for creating the optimal environmental conditions. |
| Course Contents |
|---|
1. Composition and structure of the atmosphere, its role, significance and protection
2. Thermal stratification of the atmosphere, stability classes (stability, indifference, lability). Vertical temperature gradient.
3. Pressure, basic quantities, atmospheric fronts, atmospheric circulation.
4. Air flow (basic types of flow in the atmosphere - laminar, convection, subsidence, turbulence, advection, geospheric and cyclospheric wind, meteorological characteristics).
5. Water in the atmosphere, humidity, condensation, fog, clouds (classification)
6. Meteorology (measurement and processing of basic meteorological characteristics (temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation, heliograph, anemometer)
7. Air pollution - emissions, immissions, transfer, deposition, distribution of pollutants - characteristics, properties, sources of air pollution (distribution in terms of industry, place of leakage, etc.)
8. Greenhouse effect (causes, description, consequences)
9. Ozone depletion (causes, description, consequences), smog (causes, description, basic division, consequences)
10. Characteristic harmful effects on fauna and humans, characteristic harmful effects on vegetation
11. Characteristic harmful effects on inanimate nature
12. Measurement of immissions and evaluation of air quality
13. Mathematical modeling, propagation of ZL in the air (shapes of smoke sidings), scattering studies
14. Air protection legislation (implementing legal regulations, IRZ, ISPOP, etc.) |
