The syllabus addresses the essentials of environmental protection measures, focusing on state-of-art technology. It covers air, water and soil cleanliness protection. Various technologies applied for waste gas, waste water and waste treatment are discussed, focussing mainly on prevention of environmental pollution. Students are explained essentials of the applicable legislative framework and its development trends. The syllabus provides students with a basis for further studies and research covering additional specific environmental protection topics.
