Summary
The lecture provides information about selected modern instrumental methods of research and monitoring of the environment, its use and application. During the lectures, students will get acquainted with the principles of analytical methods that are commonly used in control and development analytical laboratories.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Obtaining basic knowledge not only about environmental sampling in relation to its share in the overall uncertainty of environmental analyzes but also in instrumental analytical methods. This will increase student readiness to solve analytic problems by selected instrumental methods.
Obtaining the competence to work in an analytical laboratory with basic instrumental equipment, the ability to present and evaluate the results, to learn the correct principles of working with the sample.
