Enviromental chemistry and ecology 0600-S1-CTZ-CSE

Lecture: The aim of the lectures is to present the basic information about the Earth. The genesis of shaping and protecting the environment. Atmospheric protection issues (origin, structure, composition). Hydrosphere issues. Sources and effects of water pollution. Sewage management. Cleansing - types and methods. Methods of water pollution analysis. Organization of environmental monitoring. GLP, GMP, ISO. Soil protection. The balance of the use of the soil surface. Solid waste (industrial, municipal, agricultural). Wastewater, water pollution. Population and food. Civilization nuisance. Noise, vibration - prevention.
Laboratory exercises: Laboratory exercises are designed to prepare for work in research laboratories. They include studies of surface water pollution. Determination of anionic substances in water and sewage.

Learning outcomes - social competencies

Lecture: K1: Excellent analytical thinking - works with a large amount of information, sees the relationship between the properties of environmental matrices and analytes and the selection of the appropriate determination method - K_K01. K2: Focusing on acquiring new knowledge - K_K05. Lab: K1: Analytical thinking: Works independently and effectively with a large amount of information, sees dependencies between phenomena and correctly draws conclusions using the principles of logic - K_K01. K2: Conscientiousness and accuracy: Is focused on the best execution of the task; takes care of detail is systematic - K_K03. K3: Independence: Fully independently realizes agreed goals, making independent and sometimes difficult decisions; can independently search for information in professional literature - K_K07. K4: Teamwork: Establishes and maintains long-term and effective cooperation with others; strives to achieve the goals of the team through appropriate planning and organization of his own and others' work; motivates co-workers to increase their efforts to achieve the set goals - K_K09

Assessment criteria

The condition for passing the course is participation in lectures and laboratories, knowledge of the analytical procedures necessary for the correct performance of the exercise-laboratory analysis, obtaining a positive grade for passing the seminar, laboratory and exam.
Assessment methods:
Lecture:
Written exam with open and closed questions
Lab:
Continuous assessment including activity in the classroom, quality of work
laboratory, knowledge of the analytical procedures needed for the correct performance of the exercise-laboratory analysis, obtaining a positive grade for passing the laboratory.

Assessment criteria:
Lecture: graded credit on the basis of the issues listed in the program content of the subject; answers to the questions will require solving tasks related to the assumed learning outcomes;
Laboratory: graded credit on the basis of the number of points from the entrance tests covering the subject experiments performed as part of laboratory exercises, the performance of all experiments provided for in the program of activities (the quality of laboratory work, the way of conducting experiments, and the ability to cooperate in a group will be assessed) and the analysis of the obtained results in the form of reports.

The required threshold for a satisfactory grade - 50-60%, satisfactory plus - 61-65%, good - 66-75%, good plus - 76-80%, very good - 81-100%.
