Learning outcomes
|
Familiarization with environmental chemistry, ie sources, reactions, movement, effects and fate of chemical compounds in water, soil, air and human activities on environmental components
To describe basic processes in environmental chemistry; to estimate behavior of compounds in the environment; to describe correlation between different parts of the environment, mainly in the view of chemistry

|
Assessment methods and criteria
|
Oral exam, Written exam
For successful completion of the course the student must be able to present the basic facts and discuss the topics. The exam is in written form, from which it is necessary to obtain at least 60% points for completion, followed by an oral part, where it is necessary to correctly answer the questions asked.
