The course is aimed at providing the basic information on toxicity of inorganic and organic chemicals, their effect on a human organism, and procedures of toxicity estimation. Furthermore, the course is focused on safety rules for working in chemical laboratories and information sources on dangerous nature of chemicals. Principles of the environment protection are also discussed.

Last update: Čapek Pavel doc. Ing. CSc. (08.08.2013)

Students will be able to:

obtain information on toxicity of common chemicals,

determine or estimate toxicity of common chemicals,

describe the adverse effects of common chemicals on a human organism,

assess the effects of common chemicals on the environment, and

formulate safety rules for working with chemicals in chemical laboratories.
