The course is aimed at providing an introduction into toxicology and ecology for students of divers chemical disciplines. Basic terms will be explained and an overview of toxic chemicals, their properties and mechanisms how they exert their effect on the living systems will be provided together with information about toxicity testing. Furthermore, the course will give an overview of chemical hazards and safety rules for chemical laboratories and information sources on dangerous chemicals. In the ecological part the flows of matter and energy in the ecosystem will be explained and current problems of environmental protection will be discussed.
