The course focuses on acquiring practical skills in sampling various environmental matrices for the purpose of monitoring basic physical, chemical and microbiological parameters. The course follows on from the course ‘Sampling for Environmental Analysis’ and Waste Analysis. The course consists of a field and laboratory part. During a week-long field course, students will learn techniques for collecting various real samples at several localities, including contaminated sites. Then, students handle with the samples in the subsequent analytical part in the laboratories of the University of Chemistry and Technology. In addition, they will work with several field analysers and measure data directly on-site. The individual laboratory tasks combines the sampling of various environmental components in the field part and the analytical methods used in environmental analysis in the analytical part. During the course, students will go through the entire sampling process, from planning and sampling itself with careful documentation, through methods of sample handling and preparation for analysis, to the evaluation of results from analysers and data interpretation. The outputs of the individual tasks consist of sampling plans, sampling protocols, processing of results into a clear report, and subsequent presentation of the measured data with their critical evaluation. In addition to the individual tasks, each group will be required to plan a comprehensive survey of one location before the course and evaluate the outcomes at the end, with the results then being presented to their colleagues.

To complete the course, students must physically participate in field sampling, complete analytical work in laboratories, and process the required sampling documentation (sampling plans, protocols, and reports). A prerequisite for receiving credit is also teamwork on a selected task related to the survey of a location where the field course is taking place. As part of the task, each group first plans how the survey of the given location will be carried out through a sampling plan before the course, and at the end of the course, after submitting all the necessary documentation from the individual tasks, they comprehensively evaluate the data in the context of the given location. This output will then be presented at the final meeting to evaluate the course. Last update: Kroužek Jiří (28.08.2025)

The evaluation of students s based on graded credit as average grade from the evaluation of each task completed during the course. The assessment of the individual tasks always includes active student participation, completion of the required documentation, and evaluation/interpretation of the results.

Preparation for sampling – theoretical preparation for sampling, drawing up a sampling plan, occupational safety, preparation of sampling equipment, preservation and processing of samples, and preparation for their analysis. Sampling of contaminated soil and analysis of VOCs using headspace methods Sampling of soil air for VOC analysis Sampling and characterization of groundwater in a monitoring well Sampling of stagnant surface water Sampling and analysis of sediments for the determination of heavy metals Sampling and analysis of wood material Sampling of solid waste and collection of representative samples Identification of unknown substances using Raman, FT-IR, and ED-XRF spectrometers Diffusive sampling of outdoor air for monitoring VOC concentrations Microbiological and biochemical paraemters determination in samples Documentation of collected samples Evaluation and interpretation of measured data, preparation of final report Site survey – summary of measured data, its critical evaluation, interpretation of site survey results, application of results achieved Last update: Kroužek Jiří (28.08.2025)
