The aim of the course is to inform students with the basic procedures and methods of the evaluation of environmental components/elements in ecosystem (water, technology, biota). The specification of biological disciplines and methods of study is defined, including cooperation with other areas, such as chemistry, technology, environmental studies and practice. Biological methods based on hydrobiological analysis (microscopy) and microbiological analysis (cultivation) are used to evaluate the quality of different types of matrices (water, sediments, periphytons, biofilms, sludges). Methods of sampling, processing/pre-treatment of samples in the field and in the laboratory are characterized. Detailed specifications of the studied organisms (prokaryotes, eukaryotes). Interpretation of bioindicators of environmental conditions, including the possibility of their identification (surface water, recreational water, eutrophication, process water, treated water, wastewater, etc.).

Students will be able to:

1. Work with a microscope and prepare samples for microscopy.

2. Basic cultivation techniques, including confirmation and evaluation.

3. Use bioindication to assess the evaluated matrix (sample, environment, technology).

4. Apply the results of matrix analysis in practice.
