Annotation -

The properties and behaviour of chemical substances in main parts of the environment (atmosphere, hydrosphere, pedosphere), significant transport processes in the system atmosphere - surface water and groundwater - soils and badrock; the stability of hazardeous elements in different environmental parts; ecological risk.

Last update: Kubová Petra (12.04.2019)

Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

Indentify and describe the main chemical processes in atmosphere, geosphere and hydrosphere.

Characterize the variability of chemistry in the environmental parts above.

Distinquish natural and anthropogenic sources of environmental risks and estimate their harmful impact on the environment.

Suggest an effective decontamination technology according to obtained knowledge concerning the chemical behaviour and stability of selected compound in environmental systems (atmosphere, surface water and groundwater,soils).
