Annotation -
The course is focused on the introduction of the multicompartments models based on basic principles of physical chemistry which are used for the prediction of the distribution and transport of polutants in the environment (abiotic and biotic). Acquired knowledge may be used to solve the issue of environmental damage, environmental accidents and risk assessment. Students will address specific examples dealing with some environment problem. The course offers practical demonstrations of selected programs for modeling environmental contamination.

Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

  • apply theoretical knowledge of physical chemistry to estimate the distribution and transport of the pollutant in the environment
  • search physicochemical properties of the pollutants in available resources
  • understand basics of risk analysis
