Last update: KOBETICK (19.07.2013)
The transfer of theoretical knowledge of the subject lectures Ecotoxicology into practice. Students will learn the foundation of selected ecotoxicological tests on organisms of different trophic levels (decomposers, producers, consumers) terrestrial and aquatic environments, methods of evaluation and statistical analysis of the results and their subsequent interpretation.
Aim of the course -
Last update: TAJ240 (18.11.2013)

Students will be able to:

  • perform basic ecotoxicological tests with aquatic and terrestrial organisms (microorganisms, aquatic crustaceans, aquatic macrophytes, algae, soil invertebrates, terrestrial plants)
  • perform statistical evaluation and interpretation of ecotoxicological data
  • evaluate protocols on ecotoxicological issues.
