The course is focused on introducing multicompartment models. These models are based on the fundamental principles of physical chemistry and are used to predict the distribution and transport of pollutants in the environment (both abiotic and biotic). The knowledge gained from this course can be used to describe the fate and behavior of substances in the environment, address issues of environmental damage, and assist in environmental accidents and risk assessment. Students will work on specific examples that deal with various environmental problems. The course also includes practical demonstrations of selected software for modeling environmental contamination.

Lectures start with a summary of the theory, which is then explained in detail through solving typical examples. Students are actively involved in these discussions to help solve the problems. Last update: Rippelová Veronika (29.08.2025)

The exam is a written test consisting of five practical problems. Students must propose an appropriate solution method and provide the correct numerical solution for each, with each problem worth a maximum of 10 points. The maximum possible score is 100 points, and the final grades are as follows: A (90-100 points), B (80-89 points), C (70-79 points), D (60-69 points), E (50-59 points), and F (0-49 points). It is possible to complete the partial tests continuously throughout the semester in the e-learning system on the scheduled dates, or take a comprehensive test of the same scope.

Graduates of this course will be able to apply the principles of physical chemistry to estimate the behavior and fate of chemical substances in the environment. Furthermore, they will be able to search for, select input data, and use basic models to study the distribution and transport of substances in various environmental compartments.
